Storage and Information Management Platforms Lab
Research opportunity
Information is the lifeblood of a modern organization, and the platforms to store and manage it are vital parts of modern businesses. To stay competitive, enterprises need to keep up with new ways information is being generated, captured, stored, regulated, made available and consumed. Storing bytes and using software for structured-data management is no longer enough..
Goal
Research and build the platforms and services (hardware and software) that will create, host, manage and provide the next generation of storage and information sources and services for enterprise and user-controlled information. The platforms will be scalable, distributed, and readily extended, and will contain automated content analysis, policy and management capabilities.
Research
- scalable storage for “the cloud” (enterprise quality of service at consumer price point)
- content-aware storage (content and context analysis to enrich stored items and metadata)
- automating information management (leveraging content and context to automate storage and information management)
- context-sensitive information delivery (use quality of information and quality of service to deliver the right information, based on users’ and application context and need).
