This half-day MEEC event consists of three lectures on next-generation storage management. The lecture materials are intended for a technical audience: system admins, storage admins, disaster recovery planners, data center managers, etc. Other events tend to glaze over how and why specific technologies work, focusing instead on the business value. However, at Data Storage Day, we’ll provide a peek under the proverbial hood to understand the inner-workings of the technology – making it easier to match functionality with business value.
The program runs from 9:30AM to roughly 2:00PM and is broken into 3 separate lectures with a lunch break in the middle. Feel free to leave early or arrive late, you will still get a lot out of your time investment. See below for the full program.

Microsoft is well known as a technology company, but were you aware that Microsoft has a number of programs in place to help educators with instruction in the classroom? Please join us as we detail programs which are available to the MEEC education community:
• Partners in Learning Network - a network of teachers from around the globe who collaborate to share ideas plus a number of no cost software tools which will help in your everyday instruction of students. This program is available to individual teachers or can be signed on by entire districts.
• Microsoft Innovative Educators – a program built for educational trainers to help them incorporate technology training for the teachers they serve.
• Bing for Schools – this program allows you to have students access web searches without fear of ads. Schools who enroll will also have access to age-appropriate lesson plans for helping improve digital literacy and can also earn rewards from Microsoft!
