GlassHouse Technologies acquires DCMI

MASSACHUSETTS, US: GlassHouse Technologies, an independent IT infrastructure consulting and services firm, today announced it has acquired London-based data center services company, Data Center Moves International (DCMI).

The acquisition expands the suite of data center services GlassHouse is able to offer its clients and provides them with a proprietary software tool that manages the entire migration process and helps identify strategies for creating a 'green' data center, GlassHouse said in a release.

"DCMI has a unique service offering that fits neatly within our overall Transom approach to IT infrastructure," said Mark Shirman, president and CEO of GlassHouse Technologies. "Similar to our services for storage, backup and server virtualization, the data center services help transform IT infrastructure from technology-centric to service-centric environments. The results are then measurable and the transition is seamless. Clients gain a more efficient data center with lower energy costs and reduced maintenance fees."

The DCMI team will be integrated into GlassHouse's existing organization under the Data Center Services practice led by Bill Peldzus, director of data center services, business continuity and disaster recovery.
