Students who have completed the Information Storage and Management curriculum during the 2009/2010 school year with the highest GPA at one of more than 300 colleges and universities within the EMC Academic Alliance will be rewarded for their efforts. EMC, which owns Decho, of which Mozy is a product, will give away an Iomega StorCenter ix2 and a 2-year Mozy online backup subscription.
What is the EMC Academic Alliance?
The EMC Academic Alliance program, a collaboration with colleges and universities worldwide, was created to address the skills gap resulting from the growing volume and complexity of data . This sharp increase in data creation and the heightened importance of storing, protecting, and managing it, has elevated information storage as a central function of the IT infrastructure.
The announcement comes as EMC celebrates its 30th anniversary.
