Enterprise IT teams can manage VMs and containers with familiar GUI tools and automated APIs in a private, secure environment.

  • Familiar VM management experience
  • Critical enterprise virtualization features : HA, DRR, networking, scale, reliability
  • Compatibility with all existing hardware environments, including 3rd-party storage
  • Automated migration tooling that lowers cost barrier by 10x

Platform9 was founded by a team of VMware cloud pioneers and has over 30,000 nodes in production at some of the world’s largest enterprises, including Cloudera, EBSCO, Juniper Networks, and Rackspace. Platform9 is an inclusive, globally distributed company backed by prominent investors, committed to driving private cloud innovation and efficiency.

  • Advise PreSales engineers during customer solution design, POCs, and RFP responses on optimal storage approaches.
  • 2. Solution Design & Integration

  • Deep expertise in backup and disaster recovery (DR) solutions, including architecture design, implementation strategies, integrations, best practices, and operational patterns.
  • Design and document best practice architectures for integrating PCD with diverse storage solutions, including Fibre Channel, iSCSI, NFS, S3, VMware RDM, and others like InfiniBand.
  • Guide and support integrations with vendor-specific storage solutions, ensuring performance, reliability, and scalability.
  • Participate in solution validation, lab testing, and reference architecture development.
  • 3. Documentation & Knowledge Sharing

  • Develop and maintain internal best practice guides for storage-related topics relevant to OpenStack and PCD.
  • 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.
  • Ability to troubleshoot complex storage performance and connectivity issues across multi-vendor environments.
  • Strong understanding of VMware environments, including vSphere and storage connectivity options.

  • Proven experience in system integration projects involving storage systems.
  • Experience with OpenStack storage services (Cinder, Swift, Manila) and their integration with vendor solutions.
  • Familiarity with Kubernetes persistent storage concepts.
  • Experience authoring technical whitepapers or reference architectures.
  • Vendor certifications (e.g., NetApp NCIE, EMC Proven Professional, HPE ASE, Pure Storage, VMware VCAP-DCA, Red Hat OpenStack) are a strong plus.
  • Core Competencies

  • Strong communication and presentation skills for both technical and executive audiences.
  • Ability to work independently while collaborating effectively across multiple teams.
