Claus Mikkelson, the chief scientist of Hitachi Data Systems, has agreed to serve as one of our speakers for San Antonio Innotech, March 4. Since joining HDS in 1998, Mikkelsen has been instrumental in defining the research and development strategy of the company's data storage technologies, including the industry-leading storage virtualization capabilities of the Universal Storage Platform. During his tenure at HDS, he was recognized for the design and patents of the NanoCopy technology and other related storage products.
Prior to joining HDS, Mikkelsen spent 15 years at IBM as a chief architect for designing the company's storage replication and disaster recovery products, and was responsible for introducing the industry's first intelligent functions embedded in storage arrays. These capabilities, initially licensed to other storage vendors, have become standard capabilities in all intelligent storage arrays in the industry.
A 30-year veteran of the storage industry, Mikkelsen holds 16 patents for storage subsystem architectures (with an additional one pending), and is on the Technical Advisory Board for a Silicon Valley company. He has also co-authored a book on disaster recovery called "The Resilient Enterprise" and has penned numerous news articles on storage availability and data center resiliency.
