- Manage the storage network, including Fibre Channel zoning, iSCSI or NVMe-oF configuration, multipathing, and the VLAN and MTU work that storage connectivity depends on.
- Own array lifecycle including firmware and OS upgrades, controller and drive replacements, and Dell support cases through to closure.
- Plan and execute storage migrations and array-based replication with minimal disruption to workloads.
