Combining years of technical and business experience with the enthusiasm of a cutting-edge start-up, the company was founded by executives with decades of international experience in Cloud Computing and enterprise services, and is chock-full with qualified engineers and developers that have followed Cloud technology from its baby steps to today’s dominance (including several academic researchers).

Furthermore, Stackmasters carries the legacy and technical expertise of Virtual Trip Ltd, a 12-year-old IT services and technology venture and incubator, focusing on grid computing, distributed systems and virtualisation, with an emphasis on open-source software implementations.

Stackmasters specialises in the Openstack cloud computing platform (backed by Cisco, RedHat, IBM, Intel, VMWare and HP among others) and is collaborating with leading software providers in this domain to provide a full spectrum of end-to-end solutions covering the design, deployment and support of enterprise-class clouds (IaaS), as well as the training and certification of human resources in its use and management.

In layman terms, Stackmasters can help your enterprise move its costly and difficult to manage infrastructure to the cloud, by providing turn-key solutions based on the standards based OpenStack technology. And it’ll also help your company transform to a full cloud-enabled business via professional services and skills-transfer.
