  NRB

  Jul 2006 - Apr 2018

  New move to a tailored "box" after merging our organization with the one of Trasys, called "Strategic Solutions", next to "Infrastructure Services".I'm acting as a "Cloud Evangelist" (or Cloud Jedi). I'm explaining our strategy on infrastructure topics to our customers & prospects, and I'm splitting some myths from the reality, some marketing speaches from NRB's practical experience.I'm still helping pre-sales and sales teams to win deals.I'm still busy to work on creating and updating roadmaps/presentations (hybrid cloud, devops, data protection and more) for our distributed infrastructure, in order to provide the necessary foundation (NRB investments) for what our customers and future customers will request in the next years...10 years resumed in few words:Private, Public & Hybrid Cloud strategyInfrastructure's achitecture - customer oriented and technical solution designTeam leading of VMware TeamTechnical lead cross domain (compute-storage-network) for projectsLevel 3 System engineer for Microsoft Windows ServerVMware administration & engineering of ESX servers, vCenter, vCloud, SRM and more (VCP) Show less Time to move in another team, a standalone box in our organizational chart (attached to our Head of Managed Operations), called "System Architecture".Still answering RFPs and validated them, I conduct deeper investigation on different topics.The main ones are DATA PROTECTION, AUTOMATION & CLOUD.To create rodmaps for the first topic I will organize a seminary with a lot of involved represented teams within NRB, introducing providers and partners in our discussions/work.Following global events like VMworld, EMC World, Cisco Live, HP Discover (and more) or local events, reading a lot of books and participating to roundtables with experts and CxO's, I will create and give to NRB a vision and roadmap of our Cloud strategy.Thanks help of a Microsoft CSA, I'm able to create a new windowed view of Microsoft Azure by mapping their services to ours and initiating a MS Azure Service Catalog.
