Santhosh Kumar Theyyan

Consultant with a strong background in storage management, design, installation, implementation, system integration, data migration, troubleshooting, performance management, business continuity, infrastructure management, and digital/cloud transformation. I have a wealth of experience and expertise in IT infrastructure, specifically in storage, server hardware, and operating system platforms. My extensive knowledge in SAN & NAS infrastructure from major vendors like NetApp, EMC, Nimble, IBM, Cloud-Byte, HP 3par, Sun/Oracle, Hitachi, McDATA, Brocade and Cisco, as well as my experience with disaster recovery and business continuity products, large-scale storage migrations, and project management methodologies make me a valuable asset in any mission-critical environment. My familiarity with innovative infrastructure solutions, Unix/Linux servers, multi-vendor storage systems, and large Oracle OLTP and data warehouse databases also adds to my strength. My experience in various industries such as manufacturing, ERU, banking, financial services, and telecom, shows my adaptability and versatility. My familiarity with file data migration tools such as Dobi Miner from Data Dobi and Aspera from IBM also highlights my willingness to learn and stay current with the latest technologies in the industry. Overall, my experience and expertise make me a highly qualified candidate for any IT-related position that requires a strong foundation in storage, server hardware, and operating system platforms. I have served in various capacities in IT service operations with majors like HCL & TCS, leading to my present assignment as a SME (subject matter expert) or Consultant for storage infrastructure with Wipro Technologies. I was engaged in Level 3 support for HPUX and Red Hat Enterprise Linux before switching to SAN & NAS technologies.
