Nick Fisk is an IT specialist with a strong history in enterprise storage. Having worked in a variety of roles throughout his career, he has encountered a wide variety of technologies. In 2012, Nick was given the opportunity to focus more toward open source technologies, and this is when his first exposure to Ceph happened. Having seen the potential of Ceph as a storage platform and the benefits of moving away from the traditional closed-stack storage platforms, Nick pursued Ceph with a keen interest.
Throughout the following years, his experience with Ceph increased with the deployment of several clusters and enabled him to spend time in the Ceph community, helping others and improving certain areas of Ceph.
I would firstly like to thank my wife for allowing me to dedicate time to writing this book and to Juliana Nair for supporting me through the writing process.
I would also like to especially thank Tarquin Dunn for the continual support and encouragement he has given me from the initial adoption of Ceph as a storage platform. His support has enabled me to both learn and contribute to this amazing open source project.
