Summary
Chris Rush is a seasoned IT professional with a 30+ year career spanning virtualization, storage administration, operations management, and financial services. He led large-scale VMware and EMC environments—managing hundreds of servers and nearly 300 TB of storage across DR and VDI deployments—while developing corporate Windows server standards and consolidation strategies. Comfortable at both technical and operational levels, he has also directed payment processing and centralized operations teams, blending P&L and organizational design experience with hands-on engineering. Based on Hilton Head Island, he transitioned to retirement after a decade-plus tenure managing enterprise virtualization for Crawford & Company and HCL America. Less obvious: his background combines deep legacy systems knowledge (dating back to NT and token ring days) with proven ability to modernize infrastructures and implement resilient DR/VDI solutions.
