Ben Del Vento possesses expertise in cloud computing, virtualization, enterprise software, vmware, integration and 26 more skills. Colleagues describe him as "I hired Ben in 2012 to inject virtualization subject matter expertise and cloud consulting into an already established, deeply technical core route-switch Operations Consulting team. Ben helped guide and evolve the operations services portfolio from infrastructure operations through private cloud operations to collaboration with Cisco IT in developing the Advanced Services IT Transformation professional services portfolio. Ben championed the services portfolio with our account teams and services sellers, often being sought out by account teams to speak with their customers. Ben also led the later evolution of the Cisco DomainTen framework, incorporating both hybrid cloud and IT-as-a-Service concepts. Ben was invited on numerous occasions to represent Services thought leadership, presenting on various cloud automation and operations topics, in addition to DomainTen, at both US and European Cisco Live events. Ben works well globally and cross-functionally. Ben tests the status quo and fosters growth by encouraging those around him (peers and customers) to do the same. I appreciate Ben’s thoughtfulness and I would welcome the opportunity to work with Ben in the future." and "Ben has an excellent command of architecture and implementation of advanced IT and web solutions, understanding both the big picture and the critical technical details. He is an invaluable asset to any technology project, bringing not only his years of expertise building high-end systems, but also creative strategic foresight, attention to detail with persistent focus, and personal dedication. Its consistently a pleasure to have Ben at the table, as his commitment to excellence extends beyond his professional technical capabilities into his personal interaction, always maintaining a grounded presence and helping guide attention toward the critical path. His passion to maintain high quality engagement is greatly appreciated and empowering. Personally working with Ben on numerous environments for both clients and complex internal applications, I can say that he provides the best platforms I have worked on and I recommend him strongly to anyone with serious IT infrastructure needs. I feel fortunate to have the association, and look forward to continuing to work with Ben."
