Scalar will provide IT solutions including security and storage services for the Games and will operate an onsite data centre controlling all IT provision for the event.

A specially designed storage solution will be designed, deployed and managed by a skilled technical team.

"Scalar is an innovative Canadian company with a growing reputation for leadership in their field," said Toronto 2015 chief executive Saäd Rafi.

"We're pleased to welcome them on board."

The firm was established in 2004 and has offices in Toronto, Vancouver, Calgary, Ottawa and London and was recently named as one of the fastest growing companies in Canada.

It joins the likes of Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (CIBC), Cirque du Soleil, Chevrolet Canada and Loblaw Companies as official Toronto 2015 partners.

"Scalar is excited to join the Toronto 2015 Pan Am/Parapan Am Games," said Paul Kerr, President and chief executive of Scalar.

"We have one of the most experienced and knowledgeable technical teams in Canada - our engineers average 15 to 20 years' experience - and we're looking forward to playing a key role in successfully delivering the largest international multi-sport event ever held in Canada."

The Toronto 2015 Pan American Games are due to run from July 10 to 26 2015, and will be followed by the Parapan American Games from August 7 to 14.
