Working in the worlwide StorNext Professional Services team, I am the sole engineer based in the UK.My role is to travel to customer sites to perform installations, upgrades and health checks, usually working alone. Occasionally I work remotely, but I have a need to be extremely self-sufficient. I am one of four within my team who are expert in Lattus, the.

Part of the team who manage the migration of internal customers storage into the SAN.I built a team that implemented a strategic backup solution.

My first project was to physically separate the two fabrics.I was then tasked with migrating away from the homegeneous EMC environment to a storage virtualisation project (which I didn't see to completion due to the department being outsourced to HP)I also worked on the design for a VMWare migration.

Originally working on-site at TVP as an EMC consultant, I was taken on directly by the customer to coninue the support of their SAN environment.This included implementing a backup to disk solution, and migrating storage to a DMX.

Working for EMC, I was a member of the BAU team, managing large amounts of storage provisioning.

I was originally brought on board to upgrade an old version of Siemens Nixdorf version of Networker.This turned into a full blown migration to EMC Networker on a SUN V880, and increasing the backups to encompass all major systems including a number of clusters.I then increased the configuration to provide a full off-site copy of all backups to the D.R site.
