Hi, I'm relatively new to the whole certification world. We lost our storage manager here and I saw an opportunity to step into that role. I'm friends with the supplier of our storage infrastructure (which is mainly Hitachi machines) and he told me about what I guess is a relatively new cert, the HDS Storage Technology Certification which I guess is aimed at junior engineers and college students.
HDS: Storage Technology Track
I bought the book, studied it for a week and a half and went and took the test and just barely passed. Being my first certification, I was surprised at how many questions really depended on practical knowledge. I guess it really wasn't too hard, as I did pass after only a week and a half of studying.
Now I am looking at where to go next. I find the storage side of engineering great and I see a lot of potential. I am just trying to figure out if I lean more towards Hitachi, since that is what is used here, go more generic with the CompTIA track, or maybe even broaden out into other supportive certs.
This is my first post, thanks everyone!
