Brantley Coile’s Summary
Helping customers by creating fast and easy to use system components, like ATA-over-Ethernet, the new Storage Area Network protocol. In the past I invented the PIX firewall, and the LocalDirector load balancer. Simple is better but simple is harder.
Simpler means easier, but not simplistic. It almost always also means faster.

Envisioning, designing, programming and leading groups to create practical embedded software systems.
