I’ve had the pleasure of working with Josh on several occasions over the past four years. Josh worked with us on the initial implementation of VMware to virtualize the data center. He returned at different times to install/upgrade hardware and software. He also implemented VMware View technology for us. Josh is very knowledgeable and versed in virtualization technologies and is very approachable when questions arise. I highly recommend Josh for any virtualization project.
