About Christopher Holloway

I'm a driven technologist who aims to bring the best datacentre storage architectures to organizations. For twenty five years, I've focused on storage platforms across many, many different customers from small businesses all the way through to the world's largest companies.Knowledge is what drives me. I love to learn new technologies and subjects in the rapidly changing storage technology environment, but more than that I love to share that knowledge. That's sharing my knowledge of products through enablement of my colleagues and partners, and sharing my knowledge of storage solution design, architecture and platforms with our customers.My role focuses on Dell Technologies PowerStore and Unity platforms, and the associated technologies that go with them. I have interests in many other areas of technology, particularly in sustainability and ethics.
