  • Create external customer-facing guides and knowledge base articles to improve deployment success and reduce support escalations.
  • Conduct technical enablement sessions for Professional Services, PreSales, and Support teams.
  • 4. Continuous Improvement & Innovation :

  • Stay current with evolving storage technologies, protocols, and best practices in cloud infrastructure.
  • Partner with Engineering to identify product enhancements that improve storage interoperability and performance.
  • Proactively suggest improvements to Professional Services' delivery methodologies for storage integration.
  • Required Qualifications :

  • 15+ years of enterprise storage expertise, with hands-on experience across multiple vendor ecosystems and technologies.
  • Deep knowledge of storage protocols and architectures, including Fibre Channel, iSCSI, NFS and S3.
