I have many years experience in managing storage on heterogeneous platforms, including Linux, AIX, Sun Solaris and all Microsoft Windows flavors released since NT4. In the backup/restore arena my TSM experience on AIX, Microsoft Windows and Linux has helped me through all kinds of difficult technical situations.
I also am experienced in designing and implementing TSM server networks, Brocade storage networks for Fibrechannel and Ficon environments, including dual/multi-site connectivity. I can assist your staff during storage migrations and implementations.
