Until recently, KBC’s individual group entities in the area operated a total of 23 data centers, spread over 4 countries. KBC is now replacing all of those centers with a new twin data center. Soon, KBC will host all of its CE bank & insurance applications from that center. "We are delighted that KBC, one of Belgium's largest financial institutions, has chosen our network services for the task of connecting its central European locations. That move attests to the importance of our commitment in those countries, as well as to the close cooperation practiced within the Deutsche Telekom Group", emphasizes Ferri Abolhassan, member of the T-Systems Managing Board. The new European network will have bandwidth of up to two Gbps/S.
