Before working for SUSE, Owen worked at both a German and UK National research center for Particle Physics. He has been working in and around storage products for 15 years, with short breaks into cloud technologies. Owen believes that is a server that is untested its broken, unmonitored services are down, and if a computer system is not simple its too complex. He also believes that if you have more than 3 servers their deployment should be automated from boot to running service, and any less automation is just wasteful.
