What are FalconStor’s
aims for 2017?
The storage and data management
market is extremely fragmented and
our aim is to show the industry that
FalconStor’s FreeStor platform is the
most comprehensive implementation
of software defined storage in a
hardware agnostic and data agnostic
fashion. With companies asking how
they can save money, mitigate risk
and orchestrate storage and data
together, we can highlight how well
FreeStor helps these companies
achieve their goals.
What are your hobbies/
interests outside work?
Developing the right work/life balance is a daily challenge
Most of us work to live, not live to
work. Developing the right work/life
balance is a daily challenge but the
most satisfying over time. I like to
spend as much time as I can with my
family doing things together when I’m
not working.
TV show – Game of Thrones
Singer/Band – Genesis
Do you have any lifetime
targets, professionally or
personally?
How would you spend your
perfect weekend (imagining
no travel constraints)?
If you could travel back to
any time period in history
which would it be and why?
Keep learning, stay healthy, stay
ambitious, stay grounded, stay
alive…
Well (if everyone had the ability to
instantaneously teleport), the perfect
weekend would be to gather all my
friends and family, from all around the
world, together, in a stunning location.
Spending time in each other’s
company and just simply catching up.
Ancient Egypt – there’s still a lot
from that era I’d like to understand
better. Archaeologists today don’t
have the complete facts and are left
guessing about Egyptian civilisation
and culture from artefacts. Ancient
Egypt seems to have an association
with the birth of Christianity and
a relationship to Ancient Greek
culture. By travelling back to
Ancient Egypt I could potentially
unravel some of the mysteries.
Favourite: Book? Film? TV
show? Singer/band?
Book – Dune, James Herbert
Film – Life of Brian
but the most satisfying over time.
