Thanks for checking out my blog!
RTPChris is a personal blog about my experiences in the datacenter world. I'm passionate about technology and the only thing I love more then an awesome tech is teaching the world about it.
I graduated RPI in 2011 with a degree in Computer and Systems Engineering. During my time there I worked as a TA for the Cisco Networking Academy and I jumpstarted their VMware academy as well, becoming their first VCP instructor. After graduation I joined Cisco as a TAC engineer on the Server Visualization team. This is the team that provides support for the UCS (B and C series), Nexus 1000v, and various hypervisors. During my time there I developed and delivered many chalk talks and bootcamps (including a Cisco Live lab).
Recently I made the jump to a new company called Nutanix. Founded in 2009, Nutanix is a relatively new player in the market. Our secret sauce is all in the storage software. Basically Nutanix is a distributed system with all the features of a traditional storage array, but without the dedicated hardware and with linear performance (the first node has the same performance as the 1000th).
