EMC Corp. is beefing up its presence in Massachusetts with a new research facility and sponsorship of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Media Lab in an effort to better link itself with university research and start-ups.
The storage and information management giant (NYSE: EMC) said Wednesday the Media Lab sponsorship is one of several initiatives coordinated out of EMC Research Cambridge, which will be located at 11 Cambridge Ctr. in Cambridge, Mass. The center will house EMC’s security-business research lab, RSA Laboratories, as well as about a dozen researchers, technologists and business leaders across EMC’s business units.
“Research and advanced technology groups across EMC, along with our global university research partners, are discovering and exploring new technologies that will shape the future of digital information,” said Jeff Nick, EMC senior vice president and chief technology officer, in a statement. “This is an incredible opportunity for EMC to bring together some of the world’s leading research minds and innovators in areas such as personal information management, information integration and cloud computing.”
The announcement comes a week after EMC and a group of universities and technology companies announced the development of a high performance computing research facility in Holyoke, Mass.
Other tech giants have built dedicated R&D lab in Cambridge in recent years. Microsoft Corp. (Nasdaq: MSFT), Google Inc. (Nasdaq: GOOG) and IBM Corp. (NYSE: IBM) built research centers in the city in the past two years.
