History

Microland was a pioneer in networking in India in 1989 (Microland V1.0) and was instrumental in introducing new technologies into the market (namely Compaq, Cisco, SynOptics and Netscape). It also played a big part in driving India’s thrust into the internet economy in 1998 (Microland V2.0: having founded companies such as Planetasia.com, indya.com, itspace.com, media2india.net and Net Brahma Technologies). Following the downturn in the internet economy, Microland, in 2002, envisioned and built an IT Infrastructure Management (Microland V3.0) to be managed offshore. From this point, the company grew to being one of the leading specialist players of Remote Infra Management in India.

Microland’s management team, with deep domain knowledge and industry leading expertise, ensures personalized client management. Microland has strategic partnerships with AWS, Citrix, Microsoft and VMware in the emerging technology areas and works very closely with these technology alliances to deliver services around their technologies in the Hybrid IT and Workspace Transformation space.

Microland was started in Bangalore, India in August 1989 with a key focus on hardware and networking till date.[6][7] In 2005 Microland signed a strategic alliance with Serco Solutions, UK, for providing remote IT Infrastructure Management Services (IMS). Microland inaugurated a dedicated operations center for providing remote IT infrastructure management services (IMS) to Remote Solutions.

In 2007 Microland set up its multi network operations center by setting up six network operations center, six tech labs, four data centers and a penetration testing lab.[8] In 2008, Microland expanded its service lines through the inclusion of Managed Security Assessment and ITSM consulting to its portfolio.

In 2011, Microland signed a multi-year contract valued at $55 million with Serco Limited, UK.[9][10][11] As part of this contract, Microland would continue to provide specialist support for a range of devices through an expanded team located in Birmingham, UK, and Bangalore, India.

In 2012, Microland added Virtualization & Cloud Infrastructure Life Cycle Services (Design, Deploy & Management of Public, Private & Hybrid Clouds including Cloud Integration & Automation) to its portfolio and as part of this built partnerships with leading Cloud technology providers.
