Online Tech's team now consists of Microsoft, VMware, Dell & Cisco certified professionals.
"As our product lines and client base have continued to grow, we have made proactive strides to make sure our clients receive best-in-class data center hosting service," said Jason Yaeger, Director of Operations.
Since the beginning of the year, Online Tech has received Microsoft Certified IT Professional, Cisco Certified Network Professional, VMware Certified Professional and Dell Equallogic SAN certifications.
In addition to expanding the knowledge base of its operations team, Online Tech has added additional IT professionals to strengthen its around-the-clock support.
