Storage services provider GlassHouse Technologies has been buying other companies. There was a Chicago-based server virtualisation company, an Israeli-based company in the database area, and now DCMI (Data Centre Moves International), which is involved in datacentre migrations and re-modelling.

GlassHouse UK MD Paul Hammond explains that GlassHouse has changed. Whereas it used to be a storage services company it is now an infrastructure services company, layering server virtualisation, database and now datacentre skills onto the existing storage services base.

DCMI is, was, a 25-man concern with tools and methodologies to model datacentre refreshes and redesigns, such as consolidating servers. GlassHouse was involved in a BT contract and encountered DCMI there, where it was involved in datacentre changes.

I published this article because it contains some interesting information about the impact of looking at an energy efficient data center, how reducing your data center power consumption might bring significant costs savings. The article also mentions talks about examples in the data center arenas.
