  • Experience managing SAN environments using HP B-Series SAN Network Advisor to ensure reliable connectivity, optimal throughput, and fault resolution

  • Experience implementing and maintaining enterprise backup and recovery solutions using HP Data Protector, Microsoft DPM, and Commvault for data protection, disaster recovery, and compliance

  • Experience with enterprise monitoring and reporting tools, including SolarWinds

  • Experience with scripting and automation using tools such as PowerShell or Bash
