Which Storage Cert Should I Start With?

Jacktivated

Greetings,

I'm a network/virtualization admin with CCNA and VCP-DCV certs. Our production storage environment includes an EMC VNX 5300 Block, EMC Data Domain, and a Netapp FAS2520.

My my question is, which storage certification would you recommend to start with for someone with very little experience in storage, beyond creating pools, LUNs, etc? Should I go with the latest EMC associate cert (EMCISA v3), or Netapp's NCDA, or something else?

Thanks a lot everyone!

Hi Jacktivated,

It would be a good idea if you could get started with the EMC storage certs line because you have already had the resources in hand and it should be played an important role as a preparation for testing, practicing for your certification.
However, you can choose other neutral storage cert vendor such as SNIA SCSP
The storage SE field have been getting increased in demand and one pursued by a certification would get more advantage than others
