Global reinsurance infrastructure ri3k has signed a deal with web hosting specialist Verio to supply services across Europe.
ri3k said it already had an enterprise strength web hosted solution in Singapore with National Computer Systems.
The new deal creates a dual continent secure hosted service for ri3k customers with data replication and disaster recovery on separate sites, said the company.
"We have created a private network with masses of bandwidth, between two world class hosting centres,” said ri3k chief executive Alex Letts.
“This will entirely remove our dependency on random and, at times, extremely slow, public internet routing. Users will notice a huge difference in their response times from the system.”
He added: “As the industry becomes increasingly reliant on the electronic reinsurance infrastructure, we felt that maintaining customers' data on replica systems on two separate continents was the only responsible way forward.”
