Moshe Yanai has been instrumental in the development of some of the most advanced and successful storage technologies in the history of the industry.
Mr. Yanai began his career in the 1970s, building IBM-compatible mainframe storage based on minicomputer disks. He went on to develop high-end storage systems for Nixdorf, and in the late 1980s, joined EMC, leading the team that developed Symmetrix (today’s “DMX series”). As Vice President of EMC’s Symmetrix group, Mr. Yanai was responsible for design and development of all hardware and software products for EMC’s industry-leading enterprise storage systems. Based in Hopkinton, Massachusetts, EMC’s Symmetrix group grew from only one employee in 1987 to more than 3500 under his leadership.
Mr. Yanai graduated in 1975 from the Technion, Israel Institute of Technology with a Bsc in Electrical Engineering. He holds over 40 patents for various innovative storage hardware and software-related technologies.
