In my role as Chief Architect, I designed a scalable cloud service, which was unique at its time for its ability to manage tens of thousands of security appliances from a single console, effortlessly and with little hardware resources. After seven years at SofaWare, Liran, Zohar and I decided to move on to a new challenge, and in 2008 we founded CTERA Networks, where I assumed the role of CTO. CTERA’s core idea is to develop a global edge-to-cloud file system for large, highly distributed enterprise companies – especially those with strict security requirements.
