Joe Zumbo has been around the IBM i for at least 7 different brand names. He has been a Project Leader, Systems Administrator and Engineer, Network Manager, and IT Director – but always surrounded by the sturdy i. Joe has worked with the midrange platform with great Middle Tennessee Organizations like Geodis (aka Ozburn Hessey Logistics), Community Health Systems, and Western Express (aka Proline Carriers). Joe has been personally involved in over a dozen Operating System Upgrades and worked on systems as small as a single LPAR on a single machine up to supporting over 150 boxes. He has led efforts to modernize his clients and employers with the latest DR and High Availability solutions, Software Release and Deploy Strategies, and always done so what appeasing the endless auditor inquiries we all endure. Joe enjoys rebuilding and riding motorcycles, being a husband and father, music, and being a part of the IBM i field.
