Shipping products...

My new job... OK, 1 year old job. So I've been at Intel for a year. My job is very different from what my old job at Netapp was. At Intel my job is to enable to other peoples products and to understand them and suggest enhancements to enable Intel architectures.

At Netapp I was a product enabler. I was pulled from project to project to ensure the product would ship and ship on time with complete functionality. When I think back I can count 11 distinct products that I contributed substantively. I was the antithesis of two other engineers (who I won't name) who worked on everything that didn't ship or worked on experiments that were confined to the lab, or some bug fixes for shipping products.

All in all it is very different at Intel where I don't have products on the shelf or web that I can point to an say that is what I work on.

Netapp products that I worked on:

  • Data Ontap 6.0
  • Data Ontap 6.0.1
  • Data Ontap 6.5
  • Data Ontap 7.0
  • F860/F840
  • F880
  • FAS940/FAS960
  • FAS980
  • FAS3020/FAS3050
  • FAS250
  • FAS270
