The Company was formed in 1987 and initially focused on the DEC market place where MTI quickly established a strong reputation as a manufacturer of leading edge storage technology. It sold directly into predominately large users and backed by a 24 x 7 on-site support service, was able to demonstrate a clear advantage over both the other much large vendors and also the smaller more flexible integrators.
In 2003 it changed direction with a dramatic alignment with EMC. It signed an exclusive reseller agreement and subsequently ceased its own manufacturing operations, closing the factories in Dublin and Los Angeles. During this period the company enjoyed significant progress within the EMC arena where it became one of the top ten resellers of EMC storage Worldwide.

In late 2007 the consistently profitable European companies were sold to Garnett and Helfrich Capital (The Venture Buyout Fund) as one autonomous entity. Today the company is led by Keith Clark, President and CEO and is engaged in an aggressive expansion programme. With its unique blend of expertise, vendor partnerships and extension support capabilities, MTI believes there is a large growth opportunity open to it and is consequently investing in additional capacity to address the growing data center market that exists of selling virtualisation, networking, compute and storage solutions.
