Contributing Editorial: Wasabi Systems: A Snake Waiting To Bite Someone

By David Stevens DCIG LLC

Have you ever been out hiking, minding your own business, when all of a sudden you see something moving in your peripheral vision? Because you're not sure what you saw you stand real still so whatever it was doesn't bite you. Well, that was my first impression after I finished listening to a briefing about Wasabi Systems' VMX 2000 Series Storage Appliance given by Frank G. Logan, III, President and Chief Executive Officer of Wasabi Systems, Inc.

Currently I work for a well-known R1 research institution on the east coast and manage over 150 terabytes of pure iSCSI storage. That's right, no fibre channel storage. I am also heavily involved in the End-User Council in the Storage Networking Industry Association (SNIA) and this year will serve as the theme lead for the IP Storage hands-on-lab after serving as the technical lead for the same lab in previous years
