He was introduced to computers in the year 1992 and never looked back. Wasim has deep 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 in Calgary, Alberta. He serves many companies and organizations through his company on a daily basis. Wasim's strength comes from the experience he gained through learning and serving continually. Wasim strives on finding the most effective solution at the most competitive price point. He hand-built over a dozen enterprise production virtual infrastructures using Proxmox and Ceph storage system. Wasim is notoriously known not to simply accept a technology based on its description alone, but put them through rigorous tests to check their validity. Any new technology that his company provides goes through months of continuous testing before it is accepted. Proxmox 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 moving forward for this one-of-a-kind book on Proxmox and their support throughout the journey of making of this book.

The company maintains offices in the U.S. and the U.K. with additional resources in Sweden, Austria, and South Africa. Daniel is the founder as well as the CEO for NoFolder Ltd.
