The founder
Thirty years in data infrastructure. Now working for communities instead of enterprises.
Alan Murphy started his career as a Unix systems administrator in the 1990s. Over the following three decades, his work evolved through networking, virtualization security, and virtual network infrastructure — and eventually into Kubernetes data protection and resiliency, where he spent the past few years as a Principal Product Manager at Kasten by Veeam, a leading enterprise data protection company.
Most recently, Alan has spent the past year building AI pipelines for Product Managers, working on B2B enterprise products, and understanding at a deep level what it means to use AI tools and workflows as the primary driver to actually protecting data at scale — not just in theory, but in production environments where failure has real consequences.
He left enterprise work in 2026 to bring that expertise to his own community. The gap he kept running into — small businesses and nonprofits overwhelmed with the quick pace of AI development and adoption, families without a careful local option for device data — was exactly the kind of problem his background was suited to solve. Evergreen Data Harbor is the answer to that gap, built for individuals and small organizations rather than data centers.
