Boris Derzhavets is an experienced IT consultant with over 12 years specializing in virtualization, OpenStack (RDO), and hypervisor deployments. He has a strong hands-on background building and tuning Xen and libvirt-based environments, deploying DVR/VRRP clusters, and orchestrating multi-node RDO/Gluster systems on CentOS/RHEL. Previous roles include QA engineering and Informix DBA work at Verizon, giving him deep expertise in performance tuning, storage configurations and production support.
