Managed services, colocation, and private cloud infrastructure provider
SMS Datacenter operates a managed infrastructure business spanning colocation, private cloud, and consulting, built on a traditional enterprise stack (Active Directory, Microsoft 365, Fortinet, Palo Alto Networks). Current hiring is balanced across engineering, ops, and support—with senior roles dominating—while the company adopts desktop virtualization tools (VMware Horizon, Citrix, RDS). Internal pain points around billing and time entry suggest operational scaling challenges typical of services-driven businesses managing complex client contracts.
