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.

There is no cost to the institution to join EMC Academic Alliance. EMC offers the unique ‘open’ Information Storage and Management (ISM) course as part of our commitment to global citizenship and social investment, - sharing our expertise with educational, governmental, and social institutions, so more people around the world can access and share knowledge and ideas.
