Welcome Scott Baker and Virtualutopia

Ever feel like you’re on a roll where everything is going your way, like the gods are looking down on you favorably? Well, that’s how I’ve been feeling while we’ve been growing the virtualization solutions business unit and it is my pleasure to introduce you to one of our latest additions, Scott Baker!

Scott has over 20 years of IT industry experience, including 6 years at EMC and a leader in the vSpecialist team. He provides a wealth of knowledge ranging from developing code to helping customers understand and consume technology.

I’d like to share with you a compliment a current (and unnamed) vSpecialist shared he once paid to Scott. He said, “Scott’s so talented that rumor has it that Peyton Manning is often referred to as the Scott Baker of the NFL.” While it may read as hyperbole, in my opinion that comment is spot on!

I’ve known Scott for a while now and I suspect you will share the same opinion should you begin following Virtualutopia. Heck, his first post includes Star Wars, NetApp, and EMC! What more could you want?
