Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMichael Schwartzkopff is an experienced IT consultant and entrepreneur with over 12 years delivering high-availability Linux clusters, network automation, and security solutions for enterprises like Airbus, Allianz, and Giesecke+Devrient. He combines deep hands-on expertise in clustering (Pacemaker, Linux-HA), network gear (Cisco, F5, Juniper) and monitoring/management (SNMP, Nagios, OpenNMS, CA Spectrum) with automation tooling such as Ansible, SaltStack and Puppet. As author of the standard German textbook "Clusterbau" and longtime trainer, he translates complex distributed-system concepts into operational designs and runbooks. He has repeatedly led cross-domain projects—WAN/LAN/WLAN, NAC, VPN, RADIUS, log and search stacks (ELK), and Gluster/Hadoop storage—bridging networking, security and DevOps. Running his own consultancy and sys4.de, he pairs advisory depth with practical implementation and automation at scale. Unusually for an operator, he holds a doctoral degree in physics, reflecting a strong analytical background behind his systems work.
