Message

At Siemens, I manage enterprise storage services across NAS, SAN, and object storage, including NetApp platforms in on-premises and cloud environments.

I support provisioning, migrations, upgrades, replication, disaster recovery, and data protection. My work also includes capacity management, health monitoring, performance troubleshooting, and storage reporting.

For backup operations, I configure VM-level, NDMP, and database backups, manage SLA policies and retention schedules, and monitor jobs. I also conduct backup validation and recovery testing.

Earlier, at Solid Systems Global, I monitored storage systems, performed controller and disk firmware upgrades, and logged alerts in ServiceNow. My earlier support work also included desktop, network, CCTV, and security systems.
