Background

About Kenneth Paul

As a Distinguished Engineer within Dell Technologies global IT organization I focused on emerging technology and infrastructure initiatives that transform Dell's business. My responsibilities also included working within the office of the CTO on patent research and submission review and evaluation. I've also developed a comprehensive resiliency and availability maturity model that can be leveraged within development pipelines to automatically score and visualize HA and DR attributes or deficiencies. As a consultant to other organizations I expose and promote enterprise architect practices and opportunities for modernizing core systems and emerging technology trends like AI/ML and distributed systems. Previous projects included leading architecture and engineering efforts in IT to virtualize over 97% of legacy workloads in the data center including the big data, RAC and SAP HANA. Current research includes quantum computing and its impact on classic systems and operations. As a participant in the IT Proven program I regularly present at the Executive Briefing Centers, contribute to white papers, and work closely with product engineering to test and deploy the latest Dell solutions directly into production. Specialties: Resiliency and Availability models, Systems and Cloud architectures, Operating Systems internals, Virtualization, advanced technology research, Performance, HA and DR solutions, Container Ecosystem, Cloud strategy and security, Automation, Infrastructure as Code, SAP/HANA, Oracle
