About David Brown

I have been in the IT field for over 20 years, I enjoy the constant motion. I have worked with some really great people in my career and I am always learning new things. I have always been called an “Out of Box Thinker” I enjoy the challenge to make all processes work and produce. I have a hands on approach to technology, the resources we have at our finger tips today is astonishing. I build, test and implement technology as soon as it is available. I look for the solutions of product advancement to simplify our lives. I have had some very high accolades from several of my employers. Lately my focus for many business has been virtualization and this technology is an incredible way to allow a business to leverage idle servers to be more productive. I hope to continue to keep the challenges coming and look forward to the next big technology challenge.Specialties: Strong VMWare, Citrix, Servers Dell, IBM HP, SAN Dell EMC NetApp, NAS, Cisco, Dlink, Netgear, Exchange, HA, DR, IT Management, Cellular Telephony, Project Management, Data Recovery, VMware, VOIP, routers, Linux, windows, Microsoft servers, Novell, networking, Linux mail systems, Wise, Cisco, Fortinet, Untangle, air fiber wireless, design, if it has to do with technology I will learn it.
