What is Mentoring Program for partners ?

Hi,

my way was the same as yours working for an emc distributor i have done the NAS and CLARiion IE certification. The next step was the mentoring programm to get fully qualified for implementing EMC Celerra and Clarrion arrays.

First here is a link to the program:

http://emcmentoring.com/

In short words, you have two things to do.

1. You have to go onsite to a customer with an EMC IE together where the EMC technican does all the installtion and configuration and you look at his work and can ask questions.

2. You have to go onsite to a customer with an EMC IE together where you have to do all the installation and the EMC technican is looking on your work, if you do everything in the rigth way.

You should get some word document for both mentorings, signed by you and the EMC technican. When you have this document now you are officially allowed to install the EMC systems.

I hope this information helps you.

Cheers

Hi,

Mentoring is the last step before a partner is authorized to implement EMC infrastructure.  The Mentoring Workshops simulate a real installation.  Each attendee must finish all exercises to pass. This insures there are no blank spots in their education and that the first live customer install is done with confidence.

There are a couple of ways to get mentored, one is as David mentions, the other is attend a Mentoring Workshop hosted by your distributor or EMC.  We have Mentoring Workshops for CLARiiON, NAS, Avamar and SourceOne.  See the following link for information regarding requirements for Mentoring Workshops.

You can contact your EMC Partner Account Manager for information regarding Mentoring Workshops. 

As you work for a distributor you could host a Mentoring Workshop for you and your partners.  To do this you would need to have a person authorized to implement CLARiiON act as the mentor for the event.  If you do not have anyone EMC can provide a Mentor for you at a modest rate.  EMC provides access to the CLARiiON infrastructure for Mentoring Workshops at no cost to the Distributor.  We can run Mentoring Workshops anywhere in EMEA there is a good internet connection.  For CLARiiON we like to have a minimum of 3 people, maximum of 12 people in the CLARiiON Mentoring workshop.

If you do not have a sufficient number of people to run an event then you can attend a Mentoring Workshop in another part of EMEA.

Contact me if you have more questions.

Regards,

Stephen

Hello,

the mentoring is a standard PS-BAS service offering from EMC.

For the Clariion you have to order the EMC installation and implementatin service two times and pay the service price for this service.

Where are you located, if you are in germany or austria you can contact me, because I can do the mentoring for you too.

Otherwise contact yu local EMC TC, he will help you.

Hi Billel -

We noticed that this  question was still open and wanted to be sure you had seen the reply posted in this thread.

Your Partner Manager is the best resource for mentoring workshop dates and locations specific to your partner program.
