SUSE Sr. Technology Strategist
Tulsa, Oklahoma Area
As a Sr. Technology Strategist at SUSE, I spend significant amounts of my time focused on designing deployable solutions and supporting the field as an SME on Ceph, HPC, and 64-bit ARM solutions. Over the last year, I have spent a significant portion of my time working to find and tweak a large number of tunables in both Linux and Ceph to achieve the best performance possible, resulting in two postings of results to the IO500 with respectable placements.
I author the bulk of the reference designs with hardware and software partners for Ceph here at SUSE and am currently working on providing a fairly comprehensive tuning guide based on the work and research over the last year.
