GlassHouse Technologies Inc., a Framingham company providing data center consulting and services, has added to its roster by acquiring vcare Infosystems AG, a Swiss firm that offers information management services in storage, backup and data archiving.
While no financial details of the deal were released, the purchase gives GlassHouse a strong presence in mainland Europe, and deeper offerings in e-mail and document archiving, according to officials.
Vcare was founded in 2001 as PROACT Datasystems, a part of the Swedish PROACT IT group, and in 2004 the Swiss management team executed a management buyout and later changed the company name to vcare Infosystems. Vcare has offices in Zurich, Switzerland, and Munich, Germany.

In March, GlassHouse withdrew its initial public offering, citing “current market conditions” as the reason, in a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The company announced its IPO registration in December 2007, when it expressed hopes of raising $100 million.
