It comes with great pleasure to announce the most recent addition to Network Redux. Brian Shore, Senior System Architect, and genius.

With his Masters in Computer Science from Cornell University, Brian brings to us tremendous experience in development, operations and platform/programming security.

This addition enhances three critical areas to our organizational fabric, and in turn has resulted in a new tag you will see frequently, #devopsec (follow at twitter/devopsec)

Transparency has been a key ingredient to our success, and as such we will be providing an ongoing dialogue on the platforms and systems we automate, build and deploy to power our operations.

Welcome aboard Brian!

Kris Watson joined Network Redux in September of 2010. His primary role? Build tools.

Over the course of several months, new internal tools were built. With a strong background in ruby, many aspects of our organization started to embrace the beauty of Ruby as a language.

Kris then took the lead role in building our automated Dashboard (https://dashboard.networkredux.com) and the underlying service components that power this extremely fast and robust service platform.

What began as an initial project in providing an abstraction layer to the Citrix XenServer API soon turned in to a full blown automation platform for our customer base. With drivers currently written for the Citrix XenServer and Parallels Virtuozzo API's, and VMWare in development, Kris and team have an extremely dynamic living system that is being nurtured on a daily basis. While our competition may have similar platforms, nothing comes close to the speed and versatility to what we are building.

Once an Infrastructure as a Service provider, we are gradually evolving into a Platform as a service Provider. Integrating, Development, Operations and Security into a well tuned team of experts.
