CHICAGO, IL — (Marketwire) — 02/13/13 — a leading provider of Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) solutions spanning data center colocation, managed hosting, cloud and hybrid infrastructure today announced an infrastructure services agreement with Zethcon, a world-class provider of supply chain execution software and services.
Under terms of the multi-year hosting services agreement, Zethcon has established a footprint on Latisys- ultra high-density data center platform, securing scalable raised floor, redundant power and blended bandwidth from Latisys- Tier III, purpose-built data center in Oak Brook, IL.
Zethcon helps logistics companies identify and capitalize on opportunities to ensure profitability and longevity by using warehouse management system (WMS) information technology to make their businesses more efficient and gain a competitive edge. The company-s flagship product, Synapse, is a WMS market-leader.
Synapse has traditionally been installed at client locations, requiring a certain level of on-site IT expertise and support in addition to hardware lifecycle management costs. By making the move to Latisys, Zethcon CEO Chris Oechsel is also able to begin delivering Synapse as a virtualized infrastructure solution, centralizing distribution and simplifying customer deployment.
“Having a responsive and collaborative IT infrastructure partner like Latisys is critical to our ability to maintain focus on the highest levels of customer service as we grow,” said Oechsel. “By deploying our highly resilient Synapse software product on Latisys- elite infrastructure services platform, we are poised to further expand Zethcon services to new and existing customers while significantly reducing the management burden on everyone involved. We look forward to adding hosted services such as email and financial packages that enable customers to do business more efficiently while we take care of administrative overhead.”
“Zethcon is a great example of a growing Chicago business that is expanding its national reach — and now needs a national IaaS platform to ensure greater performance, scalability and resilience,” said Pete Stevenson, CEO of Latisys. “Latisys is dedicated to serving Zethcon as an extension of its IT team, delivering highly flexible and scalable solutions as well as critical expertise to meet current and future growth requirements.”
