About Bryan Coward

My name is Bryan Coward, and I help companies by architecting and designing storage solutions that protect and optimize their data footprints. I have spent nearly two decades working with and serving as the administrator for a variety of storage systems for companies in a diverse range of industries. The future of IT storage is in flash and cloud systems. Throughout my career, I have helped the companies I’ve worked with embrace new technologies, and I believe in the power of communication and proactive leadership to make that happen. As a global systems engineer, I have mentored operations teams based around the world. In a previous role, I traveled to meet each of team and train them on new technologies. And although I wasn’t the team manager, I started weekly meetings to learn how I could better help them overcome roadblocks, which had a tremendous impact on our productivity. I am skilled at bringing people together to reach a common goal. If a project has run into obstacles, I know how to get it back on track while keeping all members of the team pulling in the same direction.I pride myself on being an IT professional who has built a career — not just held a series of jobs. I am always looking for ways to learn new technologies and stay abreast of storage system trends. Over the years, I have completed numerous professional development courses and I plan to continue honing my skills to serve companies large and small. My SPECIALITIES include:✔ Significant EMC storage engineering experience✔ Certified EMC Proven Professional✔ In-depth knowledge of EMC SAN’s to include Symmetrix, DMX, Clariion CX series, Celerra, VNX series, Isilon, and Unity AFF ✔ Extensive EMC Vendor Management experience ✔ Expertise in Cisco and Brocade switchesI am on LinkedIn to expand my professional network. Please feel free to connect with me or reach out to me directly if you’d like to arrange a time to speak. ✉ bcoward26@gmail.com
