We are seeking an experienced Storage Solutions Architect who combines broad enterprise storage expertise with deep knowledge of backup, recovery, and high-performance backup target design. This is a highly visible, customer-facing role focused on helping customers modernize backup infrastructure, reduce recovery risk, and architect fast-recovery solutions using HPE Alletra Storage MP X10000 (X10K) in partnership with leading backup software platforms. The ideal candidate understands how backup administrators operate, can translate backup policies and operational requirements into a defensible storage design, and has repeatedly sized backup targets using real-world capacity, data reduction, performance, retention, and growth assumptions. This remains a broad Storage Solutions Architect role, with responsibility for enterprise file and object storage discussions as needed; however, its primary specialization is the fast recovery and backup use case. The Aarchitect will serve as a trusted technical advisor to customers, account teams, partners, product management, and engineering throughout discovery, sizing, solution validation, competitive positioning, and deployment planning.

Overview: As a Backup Storage Architect – Unstructured Data & Hybrid Cloud, you will: •  Partner directly with customers and backup administrators to assess current backup environments, identify recovery gaps, and design scalable storage architectures that improve backup and restore performance. •  Size backup storage targets using protected front-end capacity, daily change rate, retention, annual growth, backup method and frequency, concurrent streams, replication or secondary copies, recovery objectives, expected data reduction, and required capacity headroom. •  Translate Commvault, Veeam, Cohesity, and related backup configurations into storage capacity, throughput, networking, resilience, and operational requirements. •  Evaluate deduplication and compression behavior by workload type and explain how source-side encryption, pre-compression, backup format, block size, change patterns, database maintenance, and retention policies can affect achievable data reduction and system sizing. •  Lead customer workshops, assessments, and proofs of concept that validate backup ingest, restore throughput, concurrency, capacity efficiency, resiliency, and end-to-end recovery workflows. •  Provide strong competitive expertise on Dell EMC Data Domain and other enterprise backup targets, including their architecture, sizing methods, data reduction approaches, performance characteristics, strengths, and tradeoffs. •  Collaborate closely with sales, channel partners, services, product management, and engineering to shape solutions, capture requirements, influence roadmap priorities, and ensure a high-quality customer experience. •  Maintain broad knowledge of enterprise object and file storage so the fast-recovery architecture can be positioned within the customer’s wider unstructured data and hybrid cloud strategy. •  Travel as needed to
