Job Description - 2026 Ultrium

Position Overview
We are seeking an experienced storage migration specialist to support a high-profile RFP project involving the migration of large-scale Ultrium LTO tape storage platforms in a production enterprise environment. The successful candidate will lead the planning, execution, and verification of complex LTO tape data migrations while maintaining zero-to-minimal production downtime and ensuring full data integrity.Key Responsibilities

Design and execute end-to-end migration strategies for Ultrium LTO tape libraries, drives, and media (LTO-5 through current generations).
Manage large-scale data migrations (multi-petabyte environments) including media inventory, robotic library reconfiguration, tape copy/refresh, and host-based migrations.
Develop detailed migration plans, risk assessments, rollback procedures, and cutover schedules aligned with production SLAs.
Perform pre- and post-migration validation, including data integrity checks, performance testing, and compliance reporting.
Collaborate with client infrastructure, backup, and operations teams as well as hardware vendors (IBM, HPE, Quantum, Spectra Logic, etc.).
Troubleshoot and resolve issues related to LTO drives, media errors, library robotics, SAN fabric, and backup software integration.
Document all migration activities, lessons learned, and as-built configurations for client handover.

Required Qualifications & Experience

Minimum 7+ years of hands-on experience in enterprise storage environments, with at least 4 years specifically focused on Ultrium LTO tape migrations in large-scale production settings.
Demonstrated success leading multiple full-scale LTO tape library migrations (not just refreshes or small-scale copies).
Deep technical knowledge of Ultrium LTO technology, including drive compatibility, media management, encryption (LTO-4+), WORM, and partitioning.
Proficiency with leading tape libraries and automation (IBM TS4500/TS3500, HPE MSL, Quantum Scalar, Spectra Black Pearl, etc.).
Experience integrating LTO platforms with major backup/restore solutions (IBM Spectrum Protect, Veritas NetBackup, Commvault, Veeam, etc.).
Strong understanding of SAN/NAS fabrics, zoning, multipathing, and host connectivity (AIX, Linux, Windows).
Proven project-management skills with the ability to deliver under tight timelines and strict change-control processes.

Preferred Skills

Current certifications (IBM Storage, SNIA, or vendor-specific LTO credentials).
Experience with tape-to-disk, tape-to-cloud, or LTO generational upgrades in regulated industries (finance, healthcare, government).
Familiarity with automation scripting (Python, PowerShell, Ansible) for migration tasks.

Location: Travel to Ghana
Duration: 3-6+ months
Start: June/July
