Measure and Visualize:
Decide what to measure and make it visible. Build and maintain the metrics and dashboards, using tools such as Graphite and Grafana, that show how our storage is performing, how it is being used, and where it is heading.

Optimize:
Tune storage systems, clients, and I/O paths for throughput and latency. Dive deep on root-cause analysis of performance and systems issues.

Capacity Planning and Design:
Develop strategies to ensure optimal resource allocation and scalability, using analytics to forecast needs and design efficient, reliable systems.

Troubleshooting and Tuning:
Utilize monitoring and diagnostic tools to quickly pinpoint failures, streamline troubleshooting processes, and ensure the timely recovery of disrupted workflows.

Collaborate:
Work closely with Strategy Developers, Quantitative Researchers, and trade-supporting application teams to translate complex problems into scalable solutions. Coordinate with IT infrastructure teams, including HPC, Linux, and networking, to identify and implement the best solutions.
