Signature Technology Group (STG), a leading provider of data center services, announced today the completion of its acquisition of the US Consulting division of GlassHouse Technologies.

We share the same technology focus and values, and are thrilled to be joining forces with STG,” said Steve Sharp, Chief Executive Officer of GlassHouse Technologies, Inc.
As part of the acquisition, Signature Technology Group will bring all of the GlassHouse US Consulting teammates into the organization, including: delivery management, consultants, technical contractors, project managers, and account executives.

STG will add a number of highly skilled and experienced consultants focused on the following divisions: Data Center/Migration, Virtualization/Cloud, and Strategy. These team members focus on strategy, including assessments and modernization work, and deployment, which includes delivery and implementation.
This is STG’s second professional services expansion in the past six months, with the first expansion focused on security and government solutions.
