About This Course
Information is one of the most valuable commodities of the 21st century. This course deals with the proper care and handling of enterprise data, whether the enterprise is a large multinational corporation, a family home, or something in between. Topics include storage network architecture and storage system design.
Students examine data storage technology; local, network, and distributed storage; storage history; data protection policy and implementation (including redundancy, replication, backup, and archive strategy); data security; data reduction and optimization; and emerging technologies like Big Data, cloud storage, AWS, OpenStack, and Compute Clouds. Strong emphasis is placed on applicability of course material to real-world challenges and current industry problems in corporate environments.
Sample textbook: Software-Defined Data Infrastructure Essentials by Schulz, Edition (2017).
