About Me
Hello! My name is Alex Carver. I am currently a Solutions Architect for Pure Storage. I focus on implementations between VMware and Pure Storage. In particular I focus on the implementation of Storage Best Practices (SRM), Virtual Volumes (VVols), ActiveCluster and Site Recovery Manager with Pure Storage. As this is my personal blog, all thoughts and posts are my own.
