Scott Lowe’s Summary

I'm currently the technical lead for ePlus Technology's national virtualization practice. In this role, I help provide technical information, solution documentation, reference architectures, and training to the virtualization team. In the past, I've worked in a range of different IT positions, including technical trainer, systems/network administrator, IT manager, and field engineer.

In addition, I currently maintain http://blog.scottlowe.org, a virtualization-centric weblog providing information, insight, and technical knowledge on various solutions, including VMware Infrastructure/ESX, storage area networking, and other enterprise technologies.

I'm especially good at speaking in non-technical terms to individuals outside the IT industry and enjoy giving presentations and demonstrations of enterprise technologies.
