Required Skills
4 years' experience in planning and executing large-scale SAN-based data migrations, including LUN migrations, storage consolidations, replication cutovers, and multi-vendor storage transitions.
• 4 years' experience designing and implementing high availability and disaster recovery storage solutions using Hitachi replication (local and remote), SAN virtualization, and multi-site fabric architectures.
• 4 years' experience managing migration planning activities including stakeholder coordination, scope definition, reporting requirements, risk mitigation, and change management within enterprise data center projects.
• 4 years' experience providing post-migration stabilization and Hyper Care support, including performance troubleshooting, connectivity validation, and resolution of storage and fabric-related issues.
• Hands-on experience configuring and troubleshooting Brocade Fibre Channel fabrics, including zoning (single initiator best practice), ISL trunking, fabric merges, and performance optimization across large switch environments.
• Proficiency in multi-vendor SAN consolidation, including integration of Hitachi, NetApp, IBM, and Pure storage arrays, along with data mobility using replication and virtualization tools.
• Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving skills in resolving complex SAN issues including latency, pathing failures, replication lag, zoning conflicts, and storage performance bottlenecks in production environments.
Tasks & Duties:
Tasks & Duties:
• Extending the SAN fabric from 15 Metrotech to 11 Metrotech.
