SRM University along with EMC offers cloud computing course

Faculty of Engineering & Technology, SRM University has selected EMC’s proven VSPEX infrastructure to deliver cloud-computing course to its students. Using the infrastructure, the university post graduate program in cloud computing introduces students to cloud architecture, datacenter virtualization and deployment models. Students are trained on applications including Microsoft SQL server, Oracle, and Pivotal Greenplum database, and those graduating with M. Tech in cloud computing are equipped to become industry practitioners with highly sought after specialist skills.

The department of Information Technology partnered with Uniware Systems to design and deploy the VSEPX infrastructure comprising EMC VNX unified storage, Dell Servers, HP Networking, and VMware vSphere virtualization.

The IT department has already virtualized 60 percent of its laboratories due to the quick deployment of the infrastructure and its simplified management. Compared to the five administrators the university required previously, only one system administrator is now required for maintenance of the infrastructure.
