Perifery, a division of DataCore, announced Jonathan Morgan as SVP product and technology.

He is a well-known technology evangelist, innovator, and product visionary with more than 2 decades of experience in storage, infrastructure, and vertical markets within the M&E sector.

In his new role, he will be responsible for product innovation, engineering, and customer support efforts as Perifery ramps up for accelerated growth.

Based in Wales, Morgan will report to GM Abhijit Dey.

“Jonathan’s thought leadership, decades of product development expertise, and strong alliances with technology partners will be invaluable as we continue innovating and growing our product family,” said Dey. “He has an impressive track record of successfully bringing new products to market, including pioneering the object storage solution MatrixStore. We’re excited for Jonathan to bring his expertise in edge, container storage, and object storage products to Perifery.”

He is the co-founder and former CEO of object storage pioneer Object Matrix. Prior that, he was a consultant at EMC, Ubiquity, and Accenture.

“I’m a passionate advocate of the benefits that object storage technology offers to any industry,” said Morgan. “When Object Matrix was acquired by Perifery, I saw a significant opportunity for growing our state-of-the-art on-prem, cloud, and hybrid media storage solutions. Taking on this new role at Perifery will help me bring that vision to life.”
