Business Critical Systems
Hewlett-Packard Company
Martin Fink is the senior vice president and general manager of Business Critical Systems (BCS) within HP's Enterprise Storage and Servers business unit. He previously led the Open Source & Linux Organization and the NonStop Enterprise Division; BCS resulted from the November 2006 combination of those two groups with Business Critical Servers. BCS leverages the merged assets of HP's high-end platform technologies and extends the value they deliver on top of any server, architecture, and operating system combination.
Previously, as head of the NonStop Enterprise Division, Martin was responsible for the development, delivery, and marketing of the HP Integrity NonStop family of servers, database, and middleware software and solutions. He led the effort to develop and launch the HP Neoview data warehouse platform, a major offering in the business intelligence arena. He oversaw the Atalla Security Products line of network security processors for banking, Internet, and enterprise applications. Finally, he led the overall open source and Linux strategy across HP, helping the company gain external market leadership in Linux.
Martin joined HP in 1985 and spent his first 10 years in field operations in Canada, holding a variety of positions in hardware and software support, consulting, and telecom sales. In 1995, he moved to HP's Ft. Collins, Colorado site to work in HP OpenView telecom, where he managed small business startup activities. He was the R&D manager for the Verifone Software Business. Subsequently, he held the position of R&D lab manager in the Customer Solutions Organization, with responsibility for HP-UX, Linux, and the patch program.
Martin is listed as co-inventor on two patents related to online e-commerce and is the author of The Business and Economics of Linux and Open Source, published by Prentice Hall. He graduated in electronics engineering from Loyalist College in Ontario, Canada.
