ATS Group

What ATS Group does

ATS Group (legal entity Advanced Technology Services Group, LLC) is a privately held, founder-owned IT infrastructure solutions and managed services provider headquartered in Malvern, Pennsylvania. Founded in the early 2000s by Tim Conley and operating for over 20 years, the firm specializes in IBM enterprise infrastructure — particularly IBM POWER Systems (AIX, Linux, IBM i), IBM Storage (DS8000, FlashSystem, Storwize, Spectrum suite), data protection, and Zabbix-based monitoring — and serves nearly 500 North American enterprises across healthcare, federal government, finance, retail, and manufacturing.

The company's technology stack is anchored by three layers: (1) ATS Power Cloud, a managed IBM Power hosting platform with high availability and disaster recovery across geographically separated data centers, integrated with Maxava HA for IBM i replication; (2) Zabbix Solutions, in which ATS operates as North America's leading Zabbix Premium partner offering custom integration, managed hosting, and training across Zabbix 6.4, 7.0 LTS, and 7.4; and (3) Galileo Suite, a proprietary performance analytics and infrastructure intelligence platform that provides AIX-specific visibility, predictive capacity analytics, custom alerting, and closed-loop remediation via Red Hat Event-Driven Ansible and the Ansible Automation Platform. Supporting capabilities span DevOps consulting (Docker, Kubernetes, Puppet, Chef), Data Protection as a Service via Cobalt Iron Compass and Cohesity, and Network Services through Cisco, Meraki, Fortinet, and Meter partnerships.

ATS makes money primarily through multi-year managed services contracts and professional services engagements delivered via a direct enterprise field-sales motion, with quote-based custom pricing rather than standardized tiers. Revenue streams include ongoing managed services for IBM POWER environments, implementation/migration/architecture professional services, and Data Protection as a Service. The firm holds IBM Platinum Partner status, the highest tier in IBM PartnerWorld, which underwrites its go-to-market. With 101-250 employees and leadership under Founder/Principal Tim Conley, CTO Andy Wojnarek, and a bench of VPs and Directors, ATS continues to operate as a bootstrapped, founder-controlled specialist MSP rather than a venture- or PE-backed platform.
