"This international event will bring together key stakeholders to foster awareness on the importance of information infrastructure," he added.
Speaking on the need to create awareness on storage technologies, Dr. Niranjan N. Chiplunkar, Head of Computer Science & Engineering, NMAM Institute of Technology said, "The volume of information that needs to be stored, managed, secured and maintained is increasing day by day. Today's IT professionals are clearly not equipped or prepared to manage this information in the best possible way while complying with regulatory requirements. It is this demand for specialized Information professionals that we are trying to address through this conference. The conference is an opportunity for students to interact with industry leaders as well as meet global visionaries who will provide direction to this sector."
