HISTORY.
Altus Technologies Corporation began in January, 1996. In that same year, Altus consultants were able to assist several firms in the Cleveland, Ohio area to streamline IT processes and augment technical staff. During this time, Altus became a nationally-focused company – offering our data center expertise across the U.S.A.
Over time, we have assisted many companies in data center migrations, relocations & consolidations as well as technical project management. We also began providing our customers with systems architecture, integration and IT strategy solutions, as well as multiple data center services such as data center security and disaster avoidance. Helping customers with Workload Placement Strategy has also been very relevant.

Works with clients to analyze their IT environments and map them into organized architectural frameworks as part of complex infrastructure projects.
Andrew worked for over two decades at IBM, where his ability to see how all the technologies work and potentially fit together led IBM to tap him as one of their first Network Engineers. He designed and implemented both network and network security for many large IT networks, but his deep knowledge of distributed systems, mainframes, database, and middleware in addition to networks and security led him to become an overall IT Architect.
For 22 years (the last 15 of which have been with Altus) Andrew has specialized in large, complex IT projects – particularly data center migrations, moves or mergers, and other major infrastructure adjustments. His abilities to analyze all the different technologies involved, to map their path to the desired end state, and to troubleshoot difficult cross-platform problems has made him the resourceful data center consultant that our clients always want to keep on-call.
