Gary Lyng VP Product Management and Marketing, Violin

Violin Systems LLC appointed Gary Lyng VP, product management, to oversee the company’s product strategy and execution.

He reports to Violin CEO and president Ebrahim Abbasi.
 
He has spent more than 15 years driving innovative, award-winning products, teams and programs. He joins the company from AI-based analytics platform WiZR, but is better known in the industry as a veteran of flash memory pioneer SanDisk (acquired by Western Digital), EMC, NetApp, Hewlett Packard, and Veritas Software. His storage experience includes enterprise software and systems, channel and OEM relationships, and satisfying hyper-scale accounts.
 
“Gary has helped bring some of our market’s most disruptive and most visionary new technologies to life – from big data to hybrid cloud to flash disk,” said Abbasi. “His track record in successful product introductions and bringing new products to revenue is a perfect fit for the next phase of Violin’s flash storage platform.“
 
“I believe products as innovative as Violin’s all-flash arrays need to be supported by a credible strategy and competitive value, and so far the company is delivering on these goals,” said Lyng. “Enterprise customers in industries such as healthcare, insurance, retail, government and financial services can be assured that this generation of storage technology offers the high capacity, extreme performance and density for extremely demanding, mission critical and latency-sensitive applications.”
