Greetings! I hope everyone was able to find the new URL and welcome to my first original post at 'The Storage Alchemist'. First, I have to say, finding a good name was very hard. Though it was my wife that came up with this name, I really think it fits. It seems like every 3 to 5 years I end up at a new place with new challenges and new lessons to be learned that make my 'Personal Journey' though this industry (storage) one of the most interesting parts of who I am.
Today I find myself at Storwize. What is Storwize? "Storwize, Inc. is the only provider of real-time data compression solutions that dramatically boost storage space on network storage environments.
