]]> After two years of working for Enventis as a consultant focusing on Data Center technologies (primarily EMC VNX and Cisco UCS) am moving back into a role that is more fulfilling.  Starting on February 25th I will begin working at QLogic.  My title is Associate Principal Enterprise Applications Architect, which really means that I will get to work on how QLogic’s products work with Virtualization technologies and how they can benefit those environments.  In the last 8 years I have been trying to remain focused on Virtualization technologies, but have somehow landed in the Storage world one way or another.  I love storage the challenge that it presents but my true passion is the virtualization.  While almost every Storage manufacturer uses some type of virtualization in their products to allow for advanced functionality, it is not the same as virtualizing and Operating System or Application.

The challenge at QLogic will be with how their infrastructure components (HBAs, CNAs and switches) can have a positive impact on performance and functionality with any storage product that utilizes their products.  This one challenge I am really looking for to as I love a good puzzle/problem to tackle.

]]> Every blog must have must start somewhere with the required first post.   Here at Storagehacker.com it was decided that this first post should give a little background on the focus of this blog.  Storagehacker.com will focus on the topics of storage products with a focus on uses in Server and Desktop Virtualization.  While I work for Xiotech Corporation, the goal is to cover not only Xiotech products but trends, general practices and interesting facts around the uses of storage.

While this is new territory for me, it is my hope that I will be able provide useful information for uses of storage.  As I have other interests beyond storage and virtualization, there will from time to time be items that outside of the normal posts.

Thanks for stopping by and please return from time to time.
