• Design and implementation work on Storage Array-based Virtual Machine management infrastructure:
• Design and implementation team for Citrix "StorageLink": Storage Array-based Virtual Machine management (provisioning, assignment, replication), SMI-S with EMC Clariion and V-Max, HP-EVA, Pillar Data, 3PAR, LSI.
• Virtual Machine management tools to simplify and automate replication and Disaster Recovery of Virtual Machines, including direct array-to-array replication and failback, and Cloud-based replication, including.
• Port Windows Service-based StorageLink SMI-S client code (C++, Pegasus) to Linux, integrate functionality for EMC Clariion and HP-EVA directly into Xen Server core using Python/SWIG bridge.
• SMI-S client to automate fabric/switch zone management (Brocade) in response to array lun/host operations.
• Agent-less host remote discovery and control (incl. VM management) with Windows/WMI and Xen/XAPI interfaces.

• Design and implementation work on RAID Storage Server SMI-S Providers:
• Developed production SMI-S provider (Pegasus-based) for LSI’s internal MegaRAID products (cards and chips, OEM for IBM, Dell), cross-platform on W2K3 and Linux.
• Provider used CMPI interface (all C++), for both IBM’s Pegasus-based ICC server and W2K3 WMI Server.
• Designed and developed in-memory object repository, optimized for speed and small footprint.
• Preliminary work on new generation of C++ providers for LSI’s line of external Storage Arrays.

• Design and implementation work on Storage Array management software, W2K and Solaris, including:
• CIM/WBEM client development (Pegasus-based) for discovery and control of CIM-based Storage Arrays, including LSI/Engenio (OEM for IBM, Sun, STK, others), HP-XP/EVA/EMA/MSA, Hitachi, EMC, IBM Shark/DS8000, Fujitsu, Sun.
• SNIA committee/workgroup participant, pushed boundaries of developing SMI-S (Bluefin) standard, integrated into Veritas’ “CommandCentral Storage” product. Authored numerous SMIS-S specification changes, promoted and.
• Developed vendor-specific providers for Storage Array discovery and control, including Compaq HSG, HP EVA, Hitachi HiCommand, IBM Shark.
• Co-developed (patent recipient) object model for Veritas’ Storage Array object model.Developed prototype CORBA framework for abstracting and distributing Veritas’ internal data infrastructure.Co-developed (for.

• Design and implementation work on Distributed Media Management system (PVL/PVR), Digital UNIX, including:
• Functional design and data model based on IEEE Mass Storage System Reference Model, project used by IEEE as reference implementation.
• RPC using OSF DCE, ported portions to WinNT, with transparent cross-communication.
• Developed data model from simple example into a full-featured, integrity-rich, normalized schema.
• Database implementation using Oracle, Ingres. Developed abstracted high-level database interface layer for use with Faircom Corp.'s c-tree library.
• Robot device control using SCSI-2 interface, developed realtime graphical display for "virtual robot".Utility development for Digital UNIX (journaled) Advanced File System (AdvFS):
