Storage Area Network Training

I was wondering if someone with expertise can recommend a good self-training product on storage area networks concepts and configuration. A general training guide would be good buy if there's product specific training materials geared towards EMC Clariions that would be most beneficial. Thank you.

Are you an EMC Customer? If so, you should definitely sign up for a Powerlink account at powerlink.emc.com. Navisphere is the application that you will use to manage your array, and they do have simulators. Check the link below which will allow you to download the simulators if you get an account. I can't attach the executable here because it is 48MB.

If you are brand new to the platform and want some formal training, you could go for this. It has a simulator as well.

Yes, we are an EMC customer. I'm in the process of registering now. After I download the simulator, if I have any questions I'll post, if not, I'll close this and you've earned some easy points. Thanks.

Thank you, and sorry it took so long to respond back. EMC just e-mailed me today and told me that my account is ready to be activated. Do you have any recommendations on which simulator to download or should I download them all?

PS - That first download is just a simulator, so you can try everything out. It might be helpful to view the demos first if you are completely new to Navisphere/Clariions.
