I am a Sr. Product Marketing Manager at Seagate, focused on the growing Nearline storage market in the Enterprise storage arena. I have more than 11 years in the storage business, my background has been primarily consumed with extolling the virtues of networked storage – working primarily with OEM manufacturers, integrators and savvy end users who discovered the technology could unleash the potential of their solutions. I’m excited about the opportunity to have real interactive conversations with you on this new storage blog.
