Key Responsibilities 1. Hypervisor & Container PoC Leadership (Primary Focus) • Multi-Platform Demos: Design and execute complex PoCs that showcase Hitachi storage integration across VMware, SUSE Virtualization, Kubernetes (K8s), Rancher, OpenShift, OpenStack, Platform9, and Proxmox. • Modern App Validation: Build and maintain "Gold Standard" lab environments to demonstrate high-performance storage delivery for containerized and virtualized workloads. • Driver & Plugin Mastery: Act as the subject matter expert for Hitachi storage plugins and CSI drivers, ensuring optimized connectivity for Block, File, Object, and SDS portfolios.

2. Public & Hybrid Cloud Integration • Hyperscaler Expertise: Lead the integration and demonstration of Hitachi storage solutions within AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud Platform (GCP) environments. • Hands-on Configuration: Lead the installation and tuning of storage resources within modern stacks, including Azure Local (formerly Azure Stack HCI) and multi-cloud architectures. • SDS & AI Synergy: Deploy and optimize Software-Defined Storage (SDS) and AI platform storage backends to support high-availability and high-throughput requirements for modern applications. • Hybrid Cloud Architecture: Demonstrate "Edge-to-Core-to-Cloud" workflows, ensuring data mobility and persistent storage across disparate hypervisor and public cloud environments.

3. Automation & Deployment • Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Utilize Ansible, Terraform, and Python to automate the deployment of virtualized, containerized, and cloud-native environments for rapid PoC scaling. • Custom Scripting: Develop JavaScript and Shell scripts to bridge management gaps between Hitachi software and third-party orchestration platforms.

4. Technical Evangelism & Content • Charismatic Speaking: Present complex infrastructure integrations at large-scale industry events and executive briefings, "enchanting" audiences with the simplicity and power of our modern app integrations. • Creative Production: Use Blender, Adobe Photoshop, and After Effects to produce high-end 3D renders, video walkthroughs, and technical diagrams that visualize abstract hybrid-cloud concepts.
