I need someone with Microsoft Windows DDK (Device Driver Kit) and IFS (Installable File System) experiences. I would like to have the chance to talk with you about these opportunities and see if I may have something you are interested in or you might know someone who would be interested in something I have available. Currently I am working with a startup company developing innovative high performance solutions for managing and scaling data storage networks. By combining the best of storage with industry standard networking, our products are designed to radically alter the operational and capital cost � while reducing the complexity � of building and managing data storage networks We are located in Los Gatos, CA. (Silicon Valley) Agile Storage Inc., a file-based storage virtualization play, has secured $26 million in Series B funding.

Company executives boast that its second round, which followed its $14 million first round from Foundation Capital and Mayfield in January 2001, was closed in less than three months. current press link: http://www.byteandswitch.com/document.asp?doc_id=12973 All venture funds have very impressive track records of investing in aggressive, successful startup companies. The list of their successful ventures includes many of the technology industry's largest companies. We are doing something that no one else has done or is doing. As you know, the market is either switching or SAN. To date there is no big player combining the two technologies in one. These guys are 3 for 3 in their last startup ventures including Assured Access (purchased by Alcatel, $365M), and Alantec (purchased by Fore Systems, $650M). Do your own background. These guys are good! They have since started another storage company that is unlike any other company to date. They offer a revolutionary network switch with a storage component. It is a very unique product. If interested, please send resume for consideration. We shouldhave you talk with them and I would like to send your information to them ASAP.
