About Me

Thanks for dropping by.  My name is Nigel Poulton and I am a technical consultant specialising in enterprise storage and new technologies, with a keen interest in all things Data Center.  This blog is intended as a forum for top notch technical discussion, and as such requires people like yourself to join in with comments and keep the discussion lively and on track.

About Me

I’m a husband to my best of breed virtual dynamic green high performance low latency wonderful wife, and father to my two gorgeous daughters.  When I’m not working or blogging, I divide my time between playing football (soccer), watching football (the mighty Sunderland AFC), running and church.

Technical Info

I have over 10 years experience in IT, predominantly in enterprise environments.  During this time I have contracted for several vendors such as HDS, HP and IBM, as well as medium and large customers including large financial institutions.  

More recently I have tended to work on fairly new technologies.

I am currently interested in I/O consolidation and I/O virtualisation, as well as just about anything new and interesting.

I also write for TechTarget at SearchVirtualDataCentre.co.uk
