The transaction is expected to be finalized in the next few weeks. “This divestiture is another important step in our strategy of focusing GlassHouse on our core services and the tremendous market demand for these services,” said Patrick Scannell, President and CEO of GlassHouse Technologies. “For enterprise customers confronted by rapidly evolving end-user, cost and security demands on their IT environments, now more than ever our vendor independent objective expertise provides clarity amidst the market fervor for cloud, virtualization and other infrastructure technologies.” GlassHouse is executing on a strategy to maximize profitability and positive cash flows, and focus the company on being the leader in vendor independent strategic consulting and operational services.
