Information Storage and Management

Information storage and management was once regarded as fairly straightforward and routine operation but today it has developed into an incredibly mature and robust pillar of IT. Information storage and management technologies provide a variety of solutions for managing, storing, securing, protecting ­connecting, sharing, and optimizing information. To stay on track with the exponential growth of information and the associated increase in sophistication and intricacy of information management technology, there is a rising need for skilled information management professionals. IT managers are challenged with employing and developing highly skilled information storage professionals. With electronic data being created in ever increasing amounts, the need for secure, reliable, data storage is an estimated 40% of IT budgets. In this workshop you will learn about the force behind the growing need for data storage technologies, the common data storage challenges and technology solutions, and the roles and responsibilities for data storage that have evolved.
