Long story short

Most of the content in this website is about troubleshooting storage and virtualization technologies.

About me

My name is Juan Mulford, and this is my personal blog. For over 12 years I have worked in different roles for the IT industry, mostly in telecommunications and networking. Since 2012, I have worked with storage and virtualization, focused on VMware technologies and VDI. I use this space for my personal records but at the moment of writing, I like to share my experiences and "cloudy adventures" with everyone, especially those just entering into this awesome industry.
