Senior🎓
Top SchoolChris Lionetti is a seasoned storage and SAN architect with 20+ years of hands‑on experience designing, deploying, and troubleshooting enterprise storage infrastructures across Microsoft, HPE, NetApp, Dell, and Microsoft datacenters. As an elected SNIA Board member and Secretary (and Vice‑Chair), he blends vendor representation with standards leadership—helping shape SMI‑S and SNIA certification curricula—while holding multiple patents in SAN, drive technology, and datacenter security. At HPE he architects reference solutions that integrate Nimble, 3PAR, Primera and MSA with Microsoft platforms, and earlier roles at Microsoft and Dell demonstrate a track record of scaling SAN spend and eliminating outages. Deep protocol and product expertise (SCSI/SAS/SATA, FC/FCoE/iSCSI, NetApp, EMC, Brocade, Emulex/QLogic HBAs, FusionIO, etc.) pairs with performance benchmarking skills across HDD/SSD/NVRAM media. Known in the community as @SAN_Ninja, he combines standards work, public speaking, and hands‑on lab prototyping to turn complex business requirements into auditable, operational solutions. Based in Duvall, WA, he also rewrote SNIA certification exams—an uncommon blend of practitioner, educator, and standards steward.
