Most dedicated student I have ever come across
"Hi Roger,
My goal is to get into the storage field, hopefully start at a company that uses Brocade and Netapp,EMC equipment.
To that end, this is what I have done and currently doing
I started by reading Storage Area Networks for Dummies and I am now reading “Resilient Storage Networks: Designing Flexible Scalable Data Infrastructures” by Greg Schulz.
I just completed the Brocade CFP 264 4 Gbit/sec Accelerated BCFP Integrated Learning instructor led training in Atlanta. This was done on my vacation time ( I live and work in Illinois) and the class and travel was at my expense - $3000
I have completed the Brocade FC101 Fibre Channel Fundamentals
I have completed the Brocade TUT 100 Introduction to 4 Gbit/sec Tutorial
I am just starting the SNIA Storage Network Foundations Workshop 20 hour course with plans to take the certification test for SNIA Certified Professional – SCP this month.
I will also be studying for the Brocade BCFP certification but would rather wait to take the test when I have a few months of actual work experience under my belt.
To help study for the BCFP I am setting up a home SAN. I already have one Brocade Silkworm 2800 1Gbit switch, and the second is on the way. I also just purchased the first HBA and it is on the way.
My ultimate goal for studying is to create a home SAN with 2 Brocade switches, one EMC Clariion storage unit (old one from eBay) and 2 servers, one Windows Server 2003 running multiple virtual computer off the SAN, and the other server a Linux server also running virtual computers off the SAN.
I have downloaded a 60 day version of Fabric Manager and will be taking the Brocade FM 100 Monitoring, Managing & Maintaining Brocade Switches with Fabric Manager course.
There are several other Brocade courses I will be taking as well.
While in school one of the jobs I worked was for the College of Commerce and Business Administration network support. One of 5 students and a full-time supervisior we maintained 250+ computers/users.
Another of the jobs I worked at while in school was as computer lab assistant for 2 years. I assisted students in a variety of projects from basic to advanced."
I feel the above person is par excellence - He is always a winner because of his passion & dedication.
Another email I want to share.
"Hi Roger,
Thanks for the Docs you sent as attachment,
I am working as a Unix administrator, and looking for a better career in SAN and Storage Technologies. So When I was browsing for the stuff on the net I found your website. Its really good to see persons like you helping the freshers to Storage. Thanks for that.
I need some things like . where to start? how to start ?in SAN and storage.
How much practical experience we need before getting in to the real project?
Where can I take the classrom sessions ?( If required)
These are the few things which i am looking at now. I will be really glad if you can help me in this regard
Thanks for yourtime.
Suzanne "
