Bhavesh Davda was formerly a senior engineer in the CTO Office at VMware. He lead the engineering efforts to make vSphere the best-in-class infrastructure to support Telco (NFV) workloads. He also worked on enabling virtualization of real-time applications, low latency applications, high rate packet processing, high performance computing, SR-IOV and RDMA, which have historically been challenging to virtualize. Previously, he managed the vSphere Networking R&D team, where the team worked on the entire virtual networking stack from guest OS drivers for paravirtual NICs, to virtualization of paravirtual and emulated NICs in the hypervisor, to efficiently implementing I/O down to the physical NIC drivers and the TCP/IP stack in the vmkernel hypervisor for uses like VMotion, Fault-Tolerance and NFS at the hypervisor level. Bhavesh has over 20 years of experience in the systems software field. Before VMware, he was a Distinguished Member of Technical Staff at Avaya Labs in the operating systems group of their flagship Enterprise Communications Manager product.
