Lead Technical Recruiter

I'm Connecting Intelligent Minds to Careers of the Future....start up at EMC/ DSSD
Growing leaps and bounds and hiring for multiple skillsets!  

DSSD is a Menlo Park, California-based developer of an innovative new rack-scale flash storage tier that is now part of EMC’s Emerging Technology Products Division. DSSD’s architecture complements EMC’s industry-leading flash storage portfolio and is designed to deliver game-changing performance for I/O-intensive in-memory database and Big Data applications such as SAP HANA and Hadoop. (DSSD does not compete with XtremIO; it is not a flash array and its target workloads are different from XtremIO.) DSSD will operate as a standalone unit in EMC’s Emerging Technology Products Division. We expect DSSD’s rack-scale flash storage products to be available in 2015. The DSSD product simplifies a wide range of difficult tasks in data processing and analytics.
