Information is one of the most valuable commodities of the 21st century. This course deals with the proper care and handling of enterprise data, whether the "enterprise" is a large multinational corporation, a family home, or something in between. Topics include storage network architecture and storage system design. We will examine data storage technology; local, network, and distributed storage; storage history; data protection policy and implementation (including redundancy, replication, backup, and archive storage); security; compression and encryption; and emerging technologies like Big Data, Cloud storage, AWS, Google, and vCloud Air.
