Vice President
2002 - 2003
Not related to Pandora music (although we sold them the domain) This was the stealth name we used for a think tank funded by Kevin Fong at Mayfield to explore the future of the Enterprise Datacenter. We interviewed a bunch of company CIOs and CTOs and developed theories we presented to Mayfield about the space. We then developed a BizPlan which centered around smoothing out the utilization curve on servers by using virtual machines and being able to dynamically move them from one physical machine to another. In other words, what is now basically known as "cloud". We had a working prototype using VMWare servers but the tech bubble had just burst and funding was challenging so we tabled the idea and returned the remaining funds to Mayfield.
