About the Author
Wasim Ahmed, born in Bangladesh, is now a citizen of Canada and a veteran of the IT
world. He rst came into contact with computers in 1992, and since then, he's never looked
back. Over the years, he has acquired an in-depth knowledge and understanding of network,
virtualization, big data storage, and network security. By profession, Wasim is the CEO of an
IT support and cloud service provider company based out of Calgary, Alberta. He provides his
services to many companies and organizations on a daily basis. His strength is his experience,
which he's gained from learning and serving clients regularly. He strives to nd the most
effective solution for a problem at the most competitive prices. He has built over 20 enterprise
production virtual infrastructures from scratch using Proxmox and the Ceph storage system.
Wasim is well known for his reluctance to accept a technology based on its description alone,
and putting it through rigorous tests to check its validity. Any new technology that his company
provides goes through months of continuous testing before it is accepted. Proxmox has made
the cut superbly.
I would like to thank all the staff at Proxmox for their support and dedication
to the hypervisor community. I would also like to thank Packt Publishing for
their vision of putting forward this one-of-a kind book on such a subject and
their support through the journey of writing this book.
