Center for Research in Intelligent Storage (CRIS) Webinar (2018)
The goal of the Center for Research in Intelligent Storage (CRIS) is to push the boundaries of file, memory and storage systems by exploring and developing new technologies and techniques to improve the usability, scalability, security, reliability, and performance of storage systems. The Center for Hyperconverged Infrastructure (CHI) will be built upon the research work conducted by the IUCRC Center for Research in Intelligent Storage (CRIS).
The center established working relationships with several large IT companies, including Intel, IBM, HPE, Dell-EMC, SGI, Cray, Salesforce, Seagate, Veritas, NetApp, HGST, LSI, Samsung, Huawei, and SK Telecom. These companies identified the trend in hyperconvergence and recommended a new direction. This webinar provided a concise overview of the center’s proposed operation, funding, intellectual property, project selection, and management.
