Prior to founding DriveScale, he was founder and Chief Scientist of Nuova Systems, a start-up that led a new architectural approach to systems and networking and was acquired by Cisco to become the UCS Product Line. He was also founder and CTO of two other technology companies. Netillion, Inc. was an early promoter of memory-over-network technology. At Ipsilon Networks, Lyon invented IP Switching. Ipsilon was acquired by Nokia and provided the IP routing technology for many mobile network backbones.

As employee #8 at Sun Microsystems, Lyon was there from the beginning, where he contributed to the UNIX kernel, created the SunLink product family, and was one of the NFS and SPARC architects. He started his Silicon Valley career at Amdahl Corp., where he was a software architect responsible for creating Amdahl's UNIX for mainframes technology. Lyon holds numerous U.S. patents in system interconnects, memory systems, and storage.
