EMC, a provider of information infrastructure solutions, has tied up with the National Institute of Technology, Warangal (NITW). Through this deal, the latter will become the part of EMC Academic Alliance Programme (EAA) in India. Under this programme, the institute will offer a course in information storage and management technology to its students starting from January 2009.
NITW will also receive vendor agnostic curriculum, course content, learning materials, faculty trainings and software simulators developed by EMC. Besides, it will also get programme support in terms of examination papers and sample assignments. Under EAA, EMC has forged alliances with over 100 education institutions across India.
As per an EMC communique, EAA is an initiative that tries to address the emerging knowledge gap in storage technologies. This is the only programme in the industry that offers a vendor neutral, product agnostic storage technology curriculum to the students, claims the company.
Commenting on this association, Y Venkateswara Rao, director, NITW, said, "NITW is committed to provide state-of-the-art technical training and education to our students. We are immensely pleased to be a partner with the one of the world leading providers of information infrastructure technology. This agreement with EMC will enable our students to learn about the latest technologies in the information storage and management space."
Elaborating more on this, Alok Ohrie, president, EMC India & SAARC, said, "The world is witnessing a digital information deluge. The sheer volume and complexity of the information generated and replicated everyday has thrown up a plethora of challenges for organizations worldwide. But, the industry lacks the right kind of infrastructure and resource pool to tackle this situation. We are certain that this partnership with National Institute of Technology, Warangal will go a long way in helping us address this issue of 'storage-knowledge gap' existing in the industry."
