The document outlines an agenda for a technical university session covering concepts of file and object storage, IBM NAS solutions like Spectrum NAS, Spectrum Scale, and Cloud Object Storage. It then describes how to use the File and Object Storage Design Engine studio, a pre-sales sizing tool, to generate designs for these IBM solutions based on user requirements. The presenter will demonstrate the tool using IBM Spectrum NAS as an example.
