US financing firm Stearns Lending signed up with Latisys for primary and DR data centers.

The multiyear infrastructure services deal will be delivered via SOC 2 and SOC 3 audited data center in Irvine, California and disaster recovery services from the Latisys' Denver data center.

Stearns will deploy on Latisys' Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) platform, securing high-density space, power and bandwidth.

Brian S. Hale, CEO, Stearns Lending, Inc, said: "By outsourcing IT to an industry leader like Latisys, our IT team can now shift their focus from data center and infrastructure management to delivering the critical services and applications that result in a competitive edge and true business value."

Pete Stevenson, Chief Executive Officer, Latisys. "By providing best-in-class technology and high density infrastructure solutions, Latisys enables Stearns to focus precious IT resources on core projects and applications in ways that greatly enhance their business."

Earlier this year, Latisys added 72,000 sq ft of highly secure, high density, carrier grade IT infrastructure space along with significant power upgrades. Latisys' total data center platform now exceeds 343,000 sq ft across seven data centers in four major markets.
