XStore XStore has been in operation for just over 4 years providing design, solutions, service and implementation in the following spaces:
I graduated secondary education in 1988 with Matric Exemption, did a four year NHD in Electrical/Electronic engineering at the Cape Technikon and then worked for Li Shen Computers ( importer of computing equipment ) for 3 years. We had many achievements at Li Shen including bringing the first single-speed cartridge CDROM drive into SA, doing the first installation of Windows NT 3.1 on non-intel hardware (PowerPC 604 ) and providing the first centralised VOIP system using prepaid cards ( 2000 ). I provided contract services in the UK between 1995 and 2000 for companies like Netcom Internet, HSBC, Railtrack and BSG. The main bulk of these services related to customer service/support on Sun systems ( Solaris ), Linux/OSS platforms and applications, and network architecture and design. Following this period, I worked for the IBM Storage Distributor for SA, Maxtec Peripherals providing support, design and implementation for the following products: Storage
Networking/Security
It's also during this period that I started investigation and development on OSS as a platform performing some of the functions of systems above, based on OSS experience gained in the previous 7 years. This led to product offerings such as OpenFiler/FreeNAS-based systems for iSCSI/SAN and rsync-based replication for backup opportunities.
