Simon Birbeck

My role at Waterstons is...

Not entirely lost in the mists of time, but my journey began in 2007 after spending 15 years in Local Government and Education. I started with a VMware VCP3 accreditation, culminating in VMware Master Services Competency in datacentre virtualisation and hyper-converged infrastructure. Since then, my interests have broadened to include other hypervisors and ways of working. I am constantly fascinated with advancements in technology.

My proudest Waterstons moment is...

Is being awarded Certified Master Engineer by a software-defined storage vendor. I am only one of three individuals in the UK with the same recognition.

My life away from work is...

Used to plan holidays and short trips away, but recently has turned inward to gardening and other more relaxing themes.

I’ll be with you when...

You need to revisit secure and resilient infrastructure, business continuity or disaster recovery agility, embark on an Enterprise Architecture journey, or just keep the lights on in the most cost-effective fashion.

My sector strengths are...
