Project Tasks:
The ideal resident will have a strong PowerEdge infrastructure background combined with solid VMware experience particularly with exposure to migration environments.

Scope of the resident role:
o Provide infrastructure support, guidance, and stability throughout the deployment and migration effort
o Maintain awareness of migration activities and processes, but not serve as the primary executor
o Support the environment and assist as needed, without being responsible for leading migrations
Overall, the resource should be able to:
o Operate effectively in a large, complex enterprise environment
o Support a high-visibility, large-scale deployment
o Demonstrate familiarity with migration tools, methods, and challenges
