I’m Teresa Worth, a Senior Product Marketing Manager at Seagate Technology, focused on our enterprise solid state and hard drive storage solutions in addition to our Self-Encrypting Drive security technology. I’m based in our enterprise design center in Minnesota. While my background includes both marketing and selling enterprise storage and security software solutions directly to large and SMB enterprises across verticals, I have recently jumped over to the hardware side here at Seagate. I am currently focused on marketing and supporting our enterprise SSD and HDD products to both OEM and channel partners. This blog is about storage and its growing value - for those that create it, integrate it, and use it. Look for me to bring insights focused more on real world storage and security business issues, trends, and requirements.
