Amsterdam, The Netherlands - (The Hosting News) - September 15, 2008 - International business hosting services firm, LeaseWeb, has expanded its Network and Support divisions, to cover operational services, including monitoring the hosting network, providing customer hosting services and support, and sales support.
The expansion of the Network and Support Department, which has appointed four new network engineers, follows recent strong growth in LeaseWeb's international customer base.
Con Zwinkels, Managing Director at LeaseWeb noted, ''Our network's large bandwidth and the capacity available in our data centers attracts customers from as far afield as Spain, Poland, Russia, the United Kingdom and the United States. The effect on our worldwide network has led to rapid growth. We need to have more people on standby to provide our 24x7 network management support services in all those time zones.''
Dennis Kuik (38) applied for LeaseWeb's network engineer vacancy and was taken on immediately. He was also appointed assistant team leader because of his broad experience. His last job was also in an international setting. Before LeaseWeb, he was senior network controller at the international banking organization SWIFT, which provides financial messaging services for banks, financial institutions and corporate organizations in more than 200 countries. He had previously also worked for Infonet.
