Union is an expert in datacentre infrastructure consolidation. Union specialises in the virtualisation and consolidation of server and application platforms, the centralisation of storage and backup solutions, and the delivery of remote replication and recovery services to support a service oriented infrastructure. In doing so, we deliver our customers a competitive edge.

Unique Advantage

Our background is in enterprise data storage and backup. During the last few years we have developed and recruited virtualisation, network, communications, systems management, and security skills. This gives us a unique advantage when consolidating infrastructures.

Significant consolidation challenges exist with storage design, data migration, and backup. We come from this world to which server and application virtualisation has been a relatively easy to adopt. Many of our competitors come from the server and desktop space for which the learning curve for storage, data management, and backup is steep and pitted with traps that only experience avoids.

Track Record

Our two founders have been in the IT infrastructure and storage marketplace for twenty years apiece. Jason Rabbetts began his IT career in manufacturing, then banking and distribution. Rick Russ helped develop the UK’s first storage centric component and solutions distributor into a £500M business in the Nineties before teaming up with Jason to co-found Source Consulting, a storage and backup solutions specialist. Together with another partner they grew this business to a UK leadership position before selling it to Glasshouse Technologies Inc in 2004, where they remained for two years, after which they bought back the hardware and software resale part of the company to form Union Solutions.

Completely virtualised, totally dynamic, entirely automated.

Vision & Philosophy

Completely virtualised, totally dynamic, entirely automated. This is the vision Union has for today’s datacentre. We embrace new technology when and if it solves a business problem. We are pragmatic - if it doesn’t save money, reduce risk, or improve service to the user then it’s not worth doing.

We take this philosophy into our customer engagements, where we sell with the customer not to them – developing a business case for change that the Board will understand and accept for the right reasons.
