Flash Storage the new normal to boost performance & SLA at affordable price.

Walter De NeveBusiness Development Data-Center BeLux

Started as engineer (electronics-automation) in 1980 at Siemens.

After 10 years in the mainframe division (hardware and software) and 5 years

European third level support for disks, tapes and printers, I moved in 1995 to the sales

department where I had the opportunity to startup a specialized sales team in storage.

In 2000 I could lead a storage sales team of 5 people and in 2005 Fujitsu Siemens

asked me to lead the pre-sales division. In 2011 I took the role of storage business

development Belux.

As the role of IT was changing fast, building blocks became nearly commodity an

Fujitsu had a clear focus on end-to-end solutions, my current focus on “datacenter

solutions business development” became evident since 2016.

A bullet-proof solution inline with the budget

"We cannot afford to have our medical

system go offline and since deploying the

ETERNUS SAN, it has been bullet-proof.

Fujitsu really listened to us and went the

extra mile to produce an affordable, scalable

storage platform within our limited budget."
