Can partners become EMC SPEED qualified?

Thanks very much for the response and very glad to hear :-)

I emailed Cindy, but I haven't heard from her yet. Do you know if she's in the office / on vacation / replaced ?

She is very much present in EMC . Will talk to her and update in somtime.

Hi,

I have done the same with no response (twice, once each for week).  I haven't sent anymore in case Cindy is no longer dealing with the SPEED teams.

Thanks,

Victor

Thanks for following this up Rupal.You update wasn't there when I replied :-)

Thank you. I'll be monitoring this discussion anyway

Thanks, I’d very much like to know what the requirements are to become and stay certified.

Cindy would be replying to emails soon. Kristen Frend (kristen.frend@emc.com) could also be emialed to fasten up the process.

Thanks

For Speed the following is required

• Symmetrix IE or TA Certification is required
• NDA must be in place
• Individuals must agree to “The Covenant” – Information obtained is EMC Confidential and subject to NDA and should not be share with anyone who is not SPEED qualified.
• The partner must have an EMC SPEED Guru TC to support them that is SPEED Qualified – A SPEED Guru is the escalation path into corporate.  Is there a SPEED Guru that you work with today?
• The Symmetrix SPEED Guru Performance Qualification Documentation must be read – This is located in the Symmetrix Performance Materials Access Program folder in the EMC - Partner Champion Program eRoom.
• They must pass the Symmetrix SPEED Guru Qualification Exam with 95% – Please Email Partner SPEED Exams and we will send you the link to the exam.
• Simultaneously, a Software License Agreement for the use of SymmMerge must be executed by a VP at the partner company and a VP at EMC – Please send me the work addresses and I will complete the form for execution.

Thank you

And what is CSPEED? Are there any other SPEED certifications?

I read in the above that you'd need a Symmetrix IE or TA cert (which I am both), but what about Clariion / VNX?

All points are okay but i dont like this particular bullet

Simultaneously, a Software License Agreement for the use of SymmMerge must be executed by a VP at the partner company and a VP at EMC – Please send me the work addresses and I will complete the form for execution.

Can this be relaxed?

Yes, there is Cspeed : Clariion.. Uspeed: Unified speed (for VNX)..and Speed is for symm.

Thanks

I know Cindy, I will speak to her. thanks
