As digital information - projected to double every 18 months - grows more complex so does the demand for IT professionals educated to manage it. Storage infrastructure is the most critical component of overall IT infrastructure, significantly impacting availability, protection, and applications efficiency. The EMC Academic Alliance (EAA) program can help prepare your students for these complex data center environments at no cost. It provides a technology-based curriculum and faculty development to prepare you to teach it. Attend this session to see a walkthrough of a live lab setup that is being used to support this curriculum by a veteran EAA faculty member.
