Don Deel: Newest SNIA TC member
I first met Don in the early days of the Bluefin effort when we were both helping start what would eventually become the SMI-S standard. He had his own SAN management software startup called Prisa Networks with a pretty comprehensive Java based framework for management. At the time, I was trying to convince him to adopt Jiro, as I recall.
Now Don has been appointed to fill the seat recently vacated by David Black on the SNIA Technical Council. Most recently Don and I were co-chairs for the Management Frameworks TWG, which then produced a reference architecture.
I recently interviewed Don for the Technical Council Podcast series. You can subscribe (iTunes) or just download the .mp3.
Welcome Don! I know you will make some valuable contributions in your new role.
