- provided advanced technical support to our end users (System Administrators)- provided training to junior technical support people- provided consulting services to current and potential customers- provided certification testing & documentation for Spectra's storage products- administer BETA tests of new products.- designed and administered a “Real World” lab modeled on production data centers - Designed new platforms with the Advance Engineering group including the initial port of iSCSI and it's precursors as well as merging compute, tape, and disk in very innovative ways- Designed the I-QIP that merged Intel processors directly into SpectraLogic's tape libraries moving the compute and storage directly into the library itself

This was a start-up venture in which I designed & implemented a new converged storage and compute platform designed around the “one box” concept combining a hypervisor, online primary, near-line secondary, and offline tape storage in a single box, with total automation being the main focus of the product (including remote storage and backup management). The product worked well, and made it through beta into first customer ship. Product was 10 years ahead of it's time.
