For over 20 years, organisations of all sizes and market segments have leveraged Boston s expertise in bespoke OEM and embedded platforms. Our state of the art lab facilities and qualified engineers lay the foundation for our long pedigree of award winning solutions. As a global technology provider, Boston has supported numerous projects around the world for mission critical, high performance applications. Since its founding in London, UK, Boston has expanded operations globally. Following on from the successful launch of Boston IT Solutions India in 2009, Boston launched Boston Server & Storage Solutions GmbH in Germany a year later, with offices opening on the East coast of America in BOSTON LABS Boston Labs is the highly innovative performance and benchmarking centre where next generation technologies are put through their paces prior to production release. Boston has opened our R&D facilities to allow customers to try the latest platforms using their own tools or existing hardware. Understandably, some customers may not be able to visit our labs in person therefore arrangements can be made for test systems to be set up in our labs with remote access via RDP, SSH or other means; enabling you to trial our solutions from wherever you are in the world.
