Key Responsibilities
- Integrated Design: Architect end-to-end solutions that unify compute, storage, virtualization, and backup with a "Security-First" mindset.
- Domain Expertise: Design high-availability (HA) and Disaster Recovery (DR) frameworks utilizing industry-leading stacks (VMware, Hyper-V, Veeam, Dell EMC, HPE, Pure Storage, etc.). Design Data and AI based solutions based on the use case or customer requirements.
- Physical Infrastructure: Lead Data Center design including rack/cabinet layouts, complex power planning ($N+1$, $2N$ redundancy, PDU distribution), and DCIM tool integration.
- Modernization: Identify opportunities to transition legacy workloads into modern, containerized, or cloud-hybrid application environments.
- Discovery & Analysis: Lead deep-dive discovery sessions to map customer workloads and business requirements against technical gaps in their current state.
- HLD/LLD Excellence: Produce comprehensive High-Level and Low-Level Designs that serve as the blueprint for both sales approval and post-sales implementation.
- Proof of Value (PoV): Orchestrate complex POCs and technical workshops that demonstrate the tangible value of the proposed multi-vendor solutions.
- Resilience by Design: Ensure all infrastructure and application proposals align with industry security frameworks (e.g., NIST, ISO 27001).
