I/UCRC: A Single-Site I/UCRC Center for Research in Storage Systems (CRSS)

拟议中的中心旨在建立一个新的工业/大学合作研究中心（I/UCRC），解决先进存储系统的研究。具体来说，该中心将专注于大数据的扩展、安全性、可靠性、元数据、来源和可搜索文件系统、归档和新存储技术。新提出的中心旨在解决现有技术和新技术在存储可扩展性、索引、安全性和寿命方面的难题。该中心的目标是通过产学合作研究提升存储行业的知识基础。 安全、无处不在的数据存储和访问已成为一项重大的社会挑战。现代社会在很大程度上依赖于大量的安全，可靠的存储，从医疗数据到我们的文化遗产（照片，视频和其他文档）。存储系统研究I/UCRC旨在定义和执行合作研究，从而实现更安全，更安全的数据存储，以满足以不断增长的速度产生数据的社会日益增长的需求。该中心与其工业咨询委员会合作，计划通过开发新技术和工具以及为行业提供有才华的毕业生来源，对存储系统行业产生重大影响。该中心计划在本科和研究生两个层次开发新课程，并强调其学生群体的多样性。

The proposed center seeks to establish a new Industry/University Cooperative Research Center (I/UCRC) addressing the research of advanced storage systems. Specifically the center will focus on scaling of big data, security, reliability, metadata, provenance and searchable file systems, archival and new storage technologies. The newly proposed center intends to address difficult challenges in storage scalability, indexing, security, and longevity, both for existing technologies and for new technologies. The goal of the center is to elevate the knowledge base of the storage industry through cooperative industry-university research. Secure, ubiquitous data storage and access has emerged as a significant societal challenge. Modern society depends heavily on vast quantities of secure, reliable storage for everything from medical data to our cultural heritage (photos, video and other documents). The I/UCRC for Research in Storage Systems seeks to define and execute cooperative research resulting in safer, more secure data storage that meets the growing needs of a society that produces data at an ever-increasing rate. Working with its Industrial Advisory Board, the center plans to have a significant impact on the storage system industry, both by developing new techniques and tools and by providing a source of talented graduates to industry. The Center plans to develop new courses at both undergraduate and graduate levels and emphasize the diversity of its student population.
