“John has a proven track record in developing, managing and maintaining sales and marketing operations that enable technology companies to compete effectively in the global marketplace,” said Hans O’Sullivan, CEO of StorMagic. “We’re delighted to have John on the team as his wealth of experience will be critical in continuing to educate potential customers about the ease with which StorMagic’s SvSAN can deliver an advanced hyper-converged infrastructure for lean, virtualised environments, while also ensuring business-critical application uptime.”
“The software defined storage and hyper-converged market is profoundly disrupting the way organisations deploy IT infrastructure” commented John Glendenning. “StorMagic saw this change very early and has a growing base of customers deployed from one to many thousands of sites around the globe. I am excited to be on the team with one of my main tasks being to cut through the jargon to help the market understand how StorMagic’s product, SvSAN simply provides all the proven benefits of virtualisation without the need for costly and expensive physical storage arrays thereby cutting costs by as much as 40 percent.”
