I believe that the SNIA and Comptia are working on the Storage+ certification. Either or should be good. Maybe do both. They're not going to lead to a storage job though. Those guys are usually higher level administrators with many years of experience.

EMC has an entry level certification that isn't really hardware specific... EMCISA. I haven't done the SNIA one so I can't really speak to how it compares with the EMC one. If you want to become an EMC expert in the future, I would do the EMCISA and use the study time there to pick up on general SAN knowledge. If not, then maybe the SNIA one.
