• Configure and validate external SAN/storage integrations within VMware environments.
• Work with storage and infrastructure teams on LUN provisioning, storage presentation, VMFS datastores and storage connectivity.
• Support VMware Storage vMotion and datastore/storage migration activities.
• Support Disaster Recovery operations using VMware Site Recovery Manager (SRM) and Storage Replication Adapter (SRA).
• Participate in DR testing, failover, planned migration and failback activities.
• Provide technical guidance and VMware/storage best-practice recommendations to customer teams.
• Prepare and maintain technical documentation, migration plans, implementation procedures and as-built documentation.
• Identify and mitigate technical risks while ensuring operational continuity and enterprise standards.
• Collaborate closely with VMware, storage, network, application and customer infrastructure teams throughout the project lifecycle.
