Global data center and infrastructure solutions provider, Service Express, announced the acquisition of third-party data center maintenance (TPM) provider Sherlock Services, based in Ohio. The acquisition will complement the current third-party maintenance offerings of Service Express and bring the expanded data center solutions to existing Sherlock Services customers.

Services offered by Sherlock Services include multivendor data center maintenance and hardware solutions for server, storage, and network systems. It brings to Service Express a talented team of US-based Level 2 and Level 3 Engineers, along with an industry experience of 30 years. The acquisition of Sherlock Services will strengthen the technical team of Service Express by bringing additional OEM expertise.
