Erik Ableson
Description An IT generalist with over 20 years of experience spanning multiple technology generations at different layers in the IT organisation. My passions are all about keeping things running with a minimum of complexity which has led me through all facets of the infrastructure, from micro scale to large implementations. Currently focussed on the concepts of platforms, at the storage, networking and virtualisation layers including from identity management, directory systems, application development and deployment, networking, virtualisation and storage. Cofounder of Rewind Technologies, a managed backup service based on Retrospect, back in the 1990’s I am vendor-independent and do not have any commercial partner or reseller relationships. I do follow training and technology partnerships in order to ensure that I maintain abreast of technology changes and vendor best practices. As a Canadian, I reserve the right to spell Virtualisation with an ‘s’ or a ‘z’ as the mood (and autocorrect) strikes me.
