As the world's first program of its kind, the M.S. in Datacenter Systems Engineering degree program was developed for professionals who are actively employed in or seek to enter the field of digital infrastructure, including data management and mining, computer networking, virtualization, and security. The advisory board, made up of industry leaders and executives, is an important part of the success of the program. Designed to respond to the emerging needs of this fast-growing field, the advisory board works with the university to help ensure the curriculum is preparing students with the skill sets and working knowledge they need to become leaders in data center systems engineering. The board also provides students with the chance to connect with and immerse themselves in the wider industry through guest lectures, networking events, internships, and job opportunities. "The program provides students with end-to-end knowledge for datacenter inception, architecture, implementation, and management. Part of ensuring students are prepared to face and adapt to advances in related things like virtualization, networks, and security comes from the significant input from existing professionals who understand first-hand the highly specialized skills required to address the needs of this industry," said Klyne Smith, co-director of the SMU M.S. in Datacenter Systems Engineering. "We're thrilled to have Vinay bring his vast experience in datacenters and connectivity to the table to help keep the program relevant as the industry evolves."

"If we want our industry to keep growing—and, more importantly, continue to meet the shifting and demanding needs of our society and the digital economy—we must b proactive about investing in our future. Empowering and supporting the leaders of tomorrow is a big part of that, and I'm really grateful to have the opportunity to collaborate with the board and promote the program on a global platform."
