I currently work with Prashanth. He's our lead technical advisor for all things infrastructure related. Prashanth is very skilled in the use of VMware as a Hypervisor as well as the setup of HP hardware as well as related networking appliances and SAN storage. Prashanth has a very high attention to detail that makes him great mentor and co-worker to work with. He brings a vast working knowledge of virtualization and hardware to our team. He has a eagerness to accomplish tasks as well as to teach others while completing these tasks. It's always a pleasure to work with Prashanth on any task.

I've worked with Prashanth for over two years at CVS/Caremark. Prashanth was assigned to my project with 19 other contractors. We worked on two encryption projects that spanned over a two year period. Prashanth became one of my leads for the project and was an invaluable resource to me. If I needed something completed he worked long days, nights, and weekends to get the job done. Without Prashanths drive the project would surely have been even more miserable! :-) Michael Putz Sr Analyst Systems Admin CVS Caremark
