virtualized services within the hosting marketplace.”
With
clients in over 120 countries, Layered Technologies’ custom technology

on-demand hosting and utility computing services, providing all the
controls of colocation without the start up costs, capital investments,
long term contracts and associated challenges. By partnering with
Layered Technologies, companies are able to achieve ROI quickly via
reduced capital investment, total cost of ownership (TCO), labor
reduction, training, and floor space. Layered Technologies can have a
company up and running in days versus months.
The new cash
investment will provide Layered Technologies with working capital to
expand on current successes, develop new products, and accelerate sales
and marketing efforts within new enterprise markets.
“The
continued growth of our long standing relationship with Pangloss and
the expansion of the EEF investment demonstrates the faith our
investors place in Layered Technologies’ future,” said Jack Finlayson,
CEO of Layered Technologies. “In the last 90 days, Layered Tech has
added significant resources to our sales and marketing, development,
and service delivery efforts. We expect the remainder of 2008 to be
characterized by aggressive market expansion, new product
introductions, and overall growth.”
