Шаблон:Update Шаблон:Short description Harriet Coverston is an American computer scientist and software developer focused on large-scale secondary storage environments, who has previously participated to various kernel developments in HPC systems. Harriet is an expert in large scale archiving systems, having participated to several large projects and product developments.

Career

She started her career at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in 1967 working on CDC 7600 Livermore Timesharing System within a team of 5 people. She stayed until 1974 and then moved to Control Data Corporation for 12 years to collaborate on the Cyber 205 Operating System and CDCNET.

In January 1986, she co-founded LSC (Large Scale Configurations) where she was vice-president of technology more than 15 years. LSC was a ISV developing SAM-QFS and QFS, two software dedicated to manage cold and archived data. QFS is a high performance file system and SAM is advanced storage management.

In 2001, Sun Microsystems acquired LSC and Harriet Coverston became distinguished engineer at Sun, a position she occupied until 2010. Oracle closed the acquisition of Sun early 2010.

She co-founded Versity in March 2011 with Bruce Gilpin and acts as its CTO since its inception. Versity is a storage ISV developer of archiving software.
