EMC SAN newbie question?

Question

I'm new to EMC. My company has a Clariion and centerra that I can get my hands on them. I also want to get an EMC certification. How/where do I start? My boss is willing to send me to EMC training; however, I have been searching on emc's site, and a lot of certification training couses are not available in my area (NYC). Should I even think about getting the certification now? Or I should get some hands-on experience on the hardware first?

Answer 1

First of all you have to know who sold the EMC to your company. Is it a reseller or EMC direct. You can ask them so they can coordinate with EMC training center for available courses and sked and get better discount.
