Back to original languageAbout Christian
Freelance consultant specializing in critical infrastructures. I work on NetApp ONTAP, backup, and Disaster Recovery (DR) environments to secure data and ensure its restoration.
I assist companies in implementing, optimizing, and making their backups reliable (SnapCenter, Commvault) and in validating their disaster recovery plans.
My goal is not just to implement backups, but to ensure they actually work in case of an incident, with reliable restore tests and procedures.
I also work on automating checks and reporting to reduce risks and improve visibility on the actual state of the systems.
Results-oriented approach: service continuity, risk reduction, and simplified operations.
