Cassius Rhue, VP of Customer Experience at SIOS Technology Corp.

Cassius Rhue, VP of customer experience at SIOS Technology Corp. He has been involved in thedevelopment of software products such as LifeKeeper for more than 23 years. We asked him what
motivates him to work for such a long time.

Journey as a working professional- Can you tell us about your background?
Cassius: I was born and raised in a small town in South Carolina. Both of my parents were teachers, andmy father was also a brick mason. I have six daughters with my wife, ranging in age from 26 to 10. They
are all highly active and quite lively when we all get together. My eldest daughter is currently working asa process engineer in the manufacturing industry, and we sometimes talk about technology.
- How did you come to work with SIOS Technology Corp. (STC) ?
Cassius: I had several internships while I was in university. One of them was at NCR Corporation (NCR).
NCR is a globally renowned company for the development of POS cash registers, but I was assigned todeveloping products to protect applications in the event of system failures, mirroring products, and othermeasures against system failures.
In 1998, after graduating from university, I joined NCR and began working in the systems failurecountermeasure product development department (Fault Resilient Systems) where I had been aninternship. However, the next year, in 1999, it was decided that a venture company would acquire thesystems failure countermeasure product development department. I was faced with the choice of leaving
NCR or transferring to the venture company named SteelEye Technology, Inc. (SteelEye), and I chose totransfer to SteelEye. From there, I gained various experience across many departments, including times
in the development and quality assurance of the LifeKeeper product. In 2006, SteelEye became part ofthe SIOS Group. The LifeKeeper and DataKeeper offered by SIOS Technology are solutions that haveevolved based on the products developed at NCR and SteelEye.
Additionally, some engineers I met during my internship are still working together at STC.

- What projects have you been working on at STC?
Cassius: I have been working on the development of the Linux and Windows versions of LifeKeeper andDataKeeper. I was originally an engineer for Windows applications when I graduated from college, butwhen I started at SteelEye I was assigned to work on the Linux version, I needed to learn Linux. We allworked hard to develop the Linux product and we managed to get it released half a year later. It wasincredibly busy, but I felt a sense of growth as an engineer. STC has many great engineers who excel invarious fields. Sometimes we make mistakes or things do not go well at work. At such times, theknowledgeable members of the team will work together about what caused the problem and how toimprove it. Talking with such colleagues makes me feel like I am in a "school" where I discover something
new every day.

Attractive point of SIOS Group- Cassius, you are familiar with the early days of STC. Could you tell us what makes working
for this company appealing?
Cassius: If I were to list a few, it would be the products with enormous potential, the great colleagues,
the opportunity to gain experience about work and life, and the chance to take on various job positions.
Of course, compensation is important, but for me, earning money is not the most important motivation.
I am currently responsible for the Customer Experience team focusing on LifeKeeper and DataKeeper,
which is responsible for improving the customer experience. LifeKeeper and DataKeeper are attractive
solutions filled with potential, not only to protect applications and achieve High Availability and Disaster
Recovery in systems. SIOS Group is not just a software company, but a company that supports realizationof dreams and goals of customers and partners by leveraging the advantages of excellent software.
When SteelEye joined the SIOS Group, the group declared a policy of expanding its business globally. I
am attracted to a corporate culture that allows us to stand on a global level and challenge ourselves toachieve big goals. On the other hand, STC is homey with about 50 or 60 members, and the members are
remarkably close to each other. I really enjoy the feeling of running a business with my wonderfulcolleagues who have a wide range of knowledge and experience.
