INES at Information Storage and Management Faculty Readiness Seminar

Prof. Vinicius Cardoso Garcia will attend the Information Storage and Management ­ Faculty Readiness Seminar, promoted by EMC Education Services, on July 21-25 of 2014, at São Paulo, Brazil.

The Information Storage and Management (ISM) is the only course of its kind to fill the knowledge gap in understanding varied components of modern information storage infrastructure. It provides a strong understanding of information storage technologies which prepares you to learn advanced concepts, technologies and also enable you to make more informed decisions in an increasingly complex IT environment. You will learn about the architectures, features, and benefits of Intelligent Storage Systems; storage networking technologies such as FC-SAN, NAS, and IP-SAN; long-term archiving solution – CAS; various business continuity solutions such as backup and replication, the increasingly critical area of information security, and the emerging field of storage virtualization including storage resource management. The technologies described in the course are illustrated and reinforced with EMC product examples. Realistic case studies enable the participant to design the most appropriate solution for given sets of criteria.

Upon successful completion of this course, participants should be able to:

• Evaluate storage architecture; understand logical and physical components of a storage infrastructure including storage subsystems
• Describe storage networking technologies such as FC-SAN, NAS, IP-SAN and data archival solution – CAS
• Identify different storage virtualization technologies and their benefits
• Understand and articulate business continuity solutions including, backup and recovery technologies, and local and remote replication solutions
• Define information security, and storage security domains
• Identify parameters of managing and monitoring storage infrastructure and describe common storage management activities and solutions

INES at MASCOTS (2012)

Researchers from the project “SSD Cache”, performed by CESAR and HP teams in 2011 and partially supported by INES, will present the poster titled “Analysis of Prediction and Replacement Algorithms applied to Real Workload for Storage Devices” at MASCOTS 2012. Mascots 2012 is the IEEE 20th International Symposium on Modeling, Analysis and Simulation of Computer and Telecom System and will happen in Arlington, Virgina, USA, from August, 7th to 9th. This work is part of the project “S.Ma.R.T – Social Machines Research Team“.
