I’m a Co-Founder and Managing Director at Vespertec, a specialist systems integrator focused on the design, configuration, delivery and support of high-performance data centre infrastructure. My role encompasses many parts of Vespertec’s business, including technical planning, account management, consultancy, and customer-facing responsibilities. Some of my specialist areas of expertise also include procurement, server infrastructure design, and managing Vespertec’s many vendor relationships.Our vendor portfolio, as well as the solutions we provide, are influenced by hardware, software, and cloud solutions that’re currently used by hyperscale data centre operators like Facebook and Rackspace. We strive to introduce the benefits of these innovative technologies into the enterprise market.I’m particularly passionate about open infrastructure and strongly believe that a software-centric approach represents the future of data centre design. This approach is a core value of Vespertec, and we work to differentiate ourselves by providing impartial, honest and tailored advice as well as bespoke service arrangements for our customers.I’m currently based in Manchester alongside the Vespertec team, but we have a long track record of deploying solutions globally, including to countries with complex logistical and taxation regulations.If you’d like to discuss open approaches to data centre design, or what our team can do for your efficiency, please don’t hesitate to contact me directly.
