• Hands-on experience with IBM Power Systems, HMC, LPARs, and enterprise environment design
• Strong knowledge of MIMIX high availability, disaster recovery, replication, switch procedures, and recovery concepts
• Experience with LPAR migration, consolidation, system merge, platform transition, or data-center migration programs
