About

Welcome to VMFocus!

Some ramblings about me, I’m Craig Kilborn, 41 years old and I live in the UK.  I work as a Principal Architect for SCC focusing on designing hybrid cloud solutions to meet complex business requirements across multiple vendors including Microsoft Azure, Cisco, Citrix, HP and VMware

I get a real kick out of helping clients achieve business goals through IT, as without them I wouldn’t get to play with all the cool stuff.

Due to the breadth of work I undertake, one of the main things is trying to keep up to date with qualifications from various vendors, it does help if you have a supportive company behind you who embrace your appetite for knowledge.
