MTI Europe Acquires Global Secure Systems
This is a Press Release edited by StorageNewsletter.com on Fri, July 8th, 2011
IT security consultancy firm in the UK
MTI Europe announced the finalisation of its acquisition of Global Secure Systems Ltd. (GSS), a specialist IT security consultancy based in the UK.
This first acquisition by MTI underlines its focused business strategy to provide data centre and cloud infrastructure solutions to mid-size and enterprise customers.
GSS will become the security practice of MTI and complement it's infrastructure, storage, networking and virtualisation practices with existing and new security solutions and services. GSS has over 1,000 customers in the UK with more than 2 million users across a number of vertical markets including financial institutions, NHS trusts, central and local government, education, travel, retail and manufacturing.
GSS's expertise and experience delivers security solutions ranging from backup, intrusion detection, bandwidth management, web services, desktop protection and remote access, through to network optimisation, testing and consultancy. These solutions and services will continue to be available to customers and prospects whilst GSS is transitioned into MTI.
Keith Clark, President and CEO of MTI, said: "It is our clear goal to grow organically and through strategic acquisitions to further drive the success of the company's cloud strategy and existing partnerships. I am pleased to complete our first successful acquisition and expect to continue building our proposition to offer an ever more comprehensive MTI solutions set to our customers and shareholders."
David Hobson, GSS Managing Director said: "I am delighted to guide GSS into an organisation that is already well established with a first-class track record in its products, solutions and customer service. I welcome the opportunity to offer innovative security solutions to customers as part of the MTI portfolio."
As a UK security provider, GSS will remain focused on ensuring organisations protect their key asset - their data. GSS is committed to delivering information assurance to its widespread client-base, which will be extended to all MTI customers.
"This is an exciting step forward for MTI, as it brings a new dimension to our customer proposition, strengthening our commitment to providing complete infrastructure solutions to customers, and complementing MTI's performance and value. This is the first acquisition that will allow us to deliver additional knowledge and experience, offering value to customers and new market opportunities for MTI," says Ian Parslow, Vice President Sales for MTI Technology Ltd.
