About the Authors

Christopher Poelker has been in the eld of computer technology since

1974. Chris was an electronics engineer in the U.S. Army, and tried to stay

out of trouble by hiding in tanks while installing laser range nders and

computer-aided ballistic trajectory systems. After leaving the service, Chris

went to school in New York City at good old Control Data Institute and was

hired as a eld engineer by Digital Equipment Corporation. In his spare time,

Chris started his own software company, developed databases, and became

a Microsoft MCSE and instructor. Chris worked for Digital for 18 years until

it was bought by Compaq, where he stayed on as a StorageWorks systems

engineer until joining Sun Microsystems in 2000. Chris left Sun to become a

consulting storage architect for Hitachi Data Systems and became the dis-

trict storage manager for HDS in New York City. In 2006, Chris left HDS for

FalconStor software, where he now works as the Vice President of Enterprise

Solutions. Chris has designed and implemented storage networks for many

of the Fortune 100 companies in the U.S. and around the world. In his spare

time, Chris sometimes speaks at industry forums, writes magazine articles,

and has acted as the SAN expert at SearchStorage.com.

Alex Nikitin, currently a systems expert at HBO, has logged in 15 years in

the Information Technology industry. Alex has worn many hats in this indus-

try, ranging from application programmer and network administrator to the

ultimate responsibility over large server farms, and storage and backup solu-

tions for some of the world’s top nancial and pharmaceutical companies.

Alex and Chris worked together at Hitachi Data Systems in New York, where

Alex was the “go to” guy for dif cult storage designs and implementations.

Prior to joining HDS, he also spent time growing the install base of Storage

Area Networks as a Professional Services Consultant for EMC Corporation,

implementing SAN solutions for various companies, large and small, on

Windows NT/2000, Solaris, HP/UX, AIX, and Linux platforms. Seemingly

always cast in a storage-centric capacity, his career has focused on caring for

and reliably delivering vast amounts of storage to his user community.

Christopher Poelker: To my sister Nancy, whose love and friendship meant

the world to me.
