Olindata was founded by Walter Heck, a passionate advocate for Open Source solutions. The company was established with a focus on serving customers primarily in the European market.
Marking its expansion, Jamshid Nalakath joined Olindata as a sales engineer, spearheading the company’s foray into Asian markets.
Furthering its global reach, Olindata India was founded, with Jamshid Nalakath as one of the founding directors, solidifying the company’s presence in Asia.
A significant milestone in the company’s history, Jamshid and Sabeela acquired the business from Olindata BV (Netherlands), taking a major step in the company’s evolution.
Following the acquisition, Olindata underwent a rebranding to become Opsten. Under this new identity, the company continues to provide top-tier IT professional services to enterprises across various geographies, maintaining its commitment to excellence in Open Source consulting, engineering, and training.
Throughout its journey, Opsten has been active in more than 20 countries worldwide, offering remote consulting, engineering, and in-depth training classes for open source solutions. The company’s growth and expansion into new markets reflect its dedication to delivering high-quality open source solutions and its ability to adapt and thrive in the ever-evolving IT landscape.
Opsten has had the opportunity to work with several Fortune 500 companies, significantly enhancing its portfolio and reputation in the industry. Some of the notable names include Cisco, Intel, Dell, Blackrock, Singtel, Disney, McAfee, VMware, TE Connectivity, and Trimble. These collaborations have not only showcased Opsten’s expertise in delivering high-quality IT services but also solidified its position as a trusted partner for major global corporations.
In 2018, Opsten welcomed a significant development with the addition of Sathish VJ as an investor. Sathish VJ, a tech architect, tutor, and investor with an impressive array of credentials including 13x Google Cloud Platform certifications and recognition as a Google Developer Expert, brought a wealth of experience and expertise to the company. His investment marked a new phase of growth and expansion for Opsten, further solidifying its position as a leader in IT infrastructure monitoring and security.
In 2018 Opsten became a partner of Icinga, the open source enterprise IT infrastructure monitoring platform. This paved the way for Opsten to transition from a generic Open Source consulting services company to a specialist in IT infrastructure monitoring and security.
