FRAMINGHAM, Mass.--(Business Wire)--
GlassHouse Technologies, a leading independent IT infrastructure
consulting and services firm, today announced that it has entered into
a strategic partnership with Dell Inc. The partnership includes an
investment by Dell and provides Dell with access to GlassHouse's
