You're looking to make a career in strategy. What are the most important tools you need?
Continuous learning keeps things interesting for all participants. Each project is an opportunity to work with new team members and to play a slightly different position. The mixing and matching of roles and people combinations enables team members to flex different muscles and unearth new super powers. We also work to create as many leadership opportunities as possible, so that each team member has the opportunity to lead and follow. The days of a static set of command and control managers is over. Today leadership is a dynamic role allowing different people to step forward and lead specific parts of the project that they excel at and are passionate about.

In my opinion, execution eats strategy for breakfast. A culture of execution can rapidly bring compelling high-value ideas to market at rapid rate. Execution requires extreme attention to detail, as well as the ability to look around corners and under rocks for things that can slow the team down. Goals should be team oriented, and every player should remain on the project until it is 100% complete. No individual is finished until the whole team is finished. We work to have a culture of get your stuff done, then immediately help your team members get their stuff done. This approach can create tremendous camaraderie and a "Band of Brothers" mentality.

Crowdsourcing is one of the most important skills when it comes to problem framing. You need to listen to customers, partners, idealists, pragmatists, technologists, operational leaders, junior team members, senior team members, etc. You need to piece together reality from as many sources as possible. You then need to go back and test your understanding and thinking with each party.

Content class for object storage indexing system
Issued US US9965502B2
A storage system comprises a controller; a memory; and one or more objects each including content data and metadata. The metadata is used to construct user-defined content properties, each content property providing an ability to extract a specific metadata field from the objects by referring to a user-defined content property name of the content property. The content properties are organized into user-defined content classes, each content class grouping a set of content properties into a named…
A storage system comprises a controller; a memory; and one or more objects each including content data and metadata. The metadata is used to construct user-defined content properties, each content property providing an ability to extract a specific metadata field from the objects by referring to a user-defined content property name of the content property. The content properties are organized into user-defined content classes, each content class grouping a set of content properties into a named category under a user-defined content class name. The controller is operable to index the content properties of the content classes to create an index. The content properties being indexed are identified by the content property names. In some embodiments, the controller is operable to de-dupe the index, for content properties having same values expressed differently in different metadata formats, by directing the differently expressed values to same index field under same content property name.

System and method for optimizing protection levels when replicating data in an object storage system
Issued US US 9754003 B2
A redundant array of independent nodes are networked together. Each node executes an instance of an application that provides object-based storage. The nodes are grouped into a plurality of systems each having multiple nodes. A data protection level method comprises setting a numerical value of a system dynamic data protection level for each system of nodes; and in response to user input, setting a value of a data protection level for one or more data objects in a system, the value being a…
A redundant array of independent nodes are networked together. Each node executes an instance of an application that provides object-based storage. The nodes are grouped into a plurality of systems each having multiple nodes. A data protection level method comprises setting a numerical value of a system dynamic data protection level for each system of nodes; and in response to user input, setting a value of a data protection level for one or more data objects in a system, the value being a fixed numerical value or a dynamic value. If the one or more data objects have a dynamic value of the data protection level in a system, the one or more data objects inherit the system dynamic data protection level of the system in which the one or more data objects reside. The value of the data protection level represents a number of copies of data of the one or more data objects to be kept where the one or more data objects reside.

Content selection for storage tiering
Filed US 9589002
A method, of managing storage of content of a system (400) in storage units (430) including run units which do not allow spin-down functionality and spin-down units which allow spin-down functionality, comprises: establishing a storage tiering rule (702) which sets a policy indicating what content is eligible to be stored on a run unit and what content is eligible to be stored on a spin-down unit, the storage tiering rule being applicable to at least a group of the contents in the content…

Fixed content storage within a partitioned content platform, with disposition service
Issued US US 8533161 B2
A content platform (or “cluster”) that comprises a redundant array of independent nodes is logically partitioned. Using a web-based interface, an administrator defines one or more “tenants” within the cluster, wherein a tenant has a set of attributes: namespaces, administrative accounts, data access accounts, and a permission mask. A namespace is a logical partition of the cluster that serves as a collection of objects typically associated with at least one defined application. Each namespace…
A content platform (or “cluster”) that comprises a redundant array of independent nodes is logically partitioned. Using a web-based interface, an administrator defines one or more “tenants” within the cluster, wherein a tenant has a set of attributes: namespaces, administrative accounts, data access accounts, and a permission mask. A namespace is a logical partition of the cluster that serves as a collection of objects typically associated with at least one defined application. Each namespace has a private file system with respect to other namespaces. This approach enables a user to segregate cluster data into logical partitions. Using the administrative interface, a namespace associated with a given tenant is selectively configured without affecting a configuration of at least one other namespace in the set of namespaces. One configuration option is a “disposition service” that, once enabled for a namespace, automatically deletes objects that were once under retention and whose retention time has expired. Preferably, the disposition service deletes objects that do not have a “retention hold” associated therewith. The service enables the content platform to automatically reclaim cluster capacity while minimizing external involvement and archive load.
