Hello experts,

I'm new to EMC community and not sure if this is the right forum/place to ask my question. However, I'm really need expert advice of yours.

I have 8 yrs of work experience as Application Support, Product Support and Sr. Oracle DBA. I am keen interested in making my career in Storage Support/DataCenter Admin/Cloud Support assuming that these three domain require similar kind of expertise (Please correct me if I am wrong here). However, I'm not able to find any opportunity being in my current profile and need your guidance/advice on how i can move/switch to my desired profile. I do have basic understanding of SAN/NAS/Basic NetWorking, NetWoker/NetBackup/IBM TSM. I'm also good in AIX and Linux.

Please if someone can guide me how I can move my career from my existing profile (Oracle DBA) to Storage Support/DataCenter Admin/Cloud Support? Also, if my decision is correct or not?

I am thinking to start my journey either with ISM v2 or EMCCIS, however not sure which is better for me to start with. Please clear my doubt in this point too.

One last question, once I'm through with either of the course and sound knowledge of storage/SAN, will I get enough opportunity for job Or I will be considered as fresher and my previous experience will not be considered?

Thank you very much for your time and your expert advice.
