Brief personal presentation

My name is Vittorio Memmo, I'm a experienced professional from Italy in a wide range of Information Technology products and services.
My experience is primarly focused on Linux based server systems and Open Source solutions in general thanks not only to my researcher cultural background in high performance computing environments but to my deep on-the-field application capabilities.
Fedora Linux has been a distinctive key point in my professional activity despite the scepticism some customers had shown in favour of commercial oriented Linux distributions.
During my job activity as a IT Consultant, System Engineer, Field Application Engineer and System Analyst I’ve achieved many successful objectives leveraging my expertise in researching the solution to problems other persons couldn’t find.

Success stories

Among the others I've realised:

a high performance computing mini-cluster for scientific calculations based entirely on a customized kernel Fedora Linux and C.O.T.S. technologies to Technical Physics Department in the University "La Sapienza" in Rome.
The mini cluster has been developed for batch and real time execution of custom programs written in C++ and Fortran implementing algorithms for heavy calculations in various fields of applied Physics such as Fluid Dynamics and Digital Image processing that would require days or even weeks of execution time on normal equipped workstations.
In the meantime the department researchers can rely on a robust on-demand central calculation equipment for supporting Grid Mathematica® parallelization capabilities of running more calculation tasks in parallel.

a Nagios® server monitoring 454 hosts and 1772 services to Senate of the Italian Republic entirely based on Fedora 10. I've developed shell scripts for integration with CA® Unicenter® ServiceDesk ticketing system (the monitoring system is able to open service requests based on certain detected events) and various customizations to support customer specific needs and to satisfy SLA contract constrains. The result is great: the Fedora 10 based system, the only Fedora in the italian Senate and I think the only one in the governament, runs rock solid since January 2009 and the monitoring facility is the foundation of the entire system management activity in a so mission critical environment.

Future plans

Presently I'm working on other ideas based on Fedora Linux.
Fedora is my reference Linux distribution. I'm looking forward to continue building Fedora servers for the customers I'll work for. Among my most recent projects:

OpenAIS/Corosync-Pacemaker based physical cluster delivering HA for both high aivailability and power demanding applications while reserving power for a virtualized environment dedicated to test and pre-production of them.

Other info

Vittorio Memmo was born in Lanciano, a little town located in Abruzzo region nearby the Adriatic Sea.
After having studied Physics in the university of Rome for 6 years specializing in cybernetics and applied electronics,
he started Exin Lab in 2000, a little personal business concerning information technology services
for small and medium enterprise customers.
In the meantime he kept on a deep research activity improving proficiency in high-end Grid and MPP cluster
systems for high-performance computing dedicated scientific applications.
He's dedicating many days of his life to studying, researching, testing, inventing.
Presently he works as a Information Technology Consultant for a big technology company delivering services
for governament, defence and research departments.
