If you are new drop in say hello and introduce yourself please!

My wife and I co-own MPECS Inc. and have been in business since 2003. I started out on BackOffice Server on NT 4/4.5 with a focus on what became Small Business Server with a focus on Proxy/Internet Security and Acceleration Server.

2006/7 brought Longhorn to the for with our company focus having already started to move into Microsoft's Virtual Server 2005+.

I built my first Hyper-V cluster on Intel's Modular Server (we were the first to do so anywhere) after spending about 6-9 months working with Intel and Microsoft (Ben Armstrong & Jose Barreto being key folks that helped).

2012 RTM brought Storage Spaces into the picture with our first SOFS/Hyper-V hosting cluster going out the door not too long after that (2x SOFS and 2x Hyper-V with dual 10GbE switch fabric).

Today we are focused on providing high availability solutions for businesses as small as 5-10 seats (Storage Spaces Direct) all the way up to high VM density hosting providers (S2D or Converged).

I'm fortunate. I love what I do and occasionally get paid to do it.
