i-LAN was founded in 2018 by 2 co-workers Engineers Maarten Clement and Sven Vande Cappelle with the mission to solve the challenges that came with managing RoBo sites IT (Remote Office Remote Branches or Edge). Both have more than 25 years of experience in Data Center & Cloud technology and exemplary references throughout the IT sector in their careers. By the year 2017, most companies started the massive move to the cloud. By these large-scale migrations, they’ve quickly noticed that not all IT could go to the cloud. So, Maarten & Sven’s development led to a device that started the EdgeCompute revolution in the industry and the Retail sector, this device was called the OneBox. An Edge Compute device that would Virtualize & automate all IT components, upscale Security standards, and manage all networks throughout all 800 stores located in Belgium. Leading to a massive return in the IT running cost, not only by technology and support costs reductions, but also much more efficiency for daily operations. Later, they developed Top level technology, driven by A.I. intelligence to manage all these OneBoxes with the ease of a smartphone, called the OneCloud. An intelligent system to manage all that IT around all these remote sites.
