As part of the EAA, NITW will receive vendor agnostic curriculum, course content, learning materials, faculty trainings and software simulators developed by EMC, to provide training to their students. EMC will also provide programme support in terms of examination papers and sample assignments.
Elaborating on the momentum of EAA in India, Alok Ohrie, president, EMC India and SAARC region, 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 organisations worldwide. But, the industry lacks the right kind of infrastructure and resource pool to tackle this situation in an efficient way. Our estimate says that- there is a requirement of 1 million skilled Information Storage professionals by 2012. 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."
"We are certain that our partnership with EMC will help us to impart the relevant skills to our students and produce industry ready engineers who are prepared to contribute efficiently to the rapidly growing information storage and management industry," added Dr Y Venkateswara Rao, director, National Institute of Technology, Warangal. |
