Hi Guys,

I've got my Celerra certification, and was going to do the Clariion training, but have only just come to the realization (i know, i know, i'm a bit slow) that the Clariion/Celerra line has been discontinued and VNX has replaced it. It's apparently more or less the same.

I now feel like i wasted 6 weeks of my life studying and preparing for the Celerra exam. I'm now considering doing the VNX training and cert rather than Clariion, but i want to know everyones opinion out there. I noticed the VNX training goes over a fair few things in a 5 day course, where as Clariion and Celerra are split over 10 days. Would i get more understanding and knowledge out of the Clariion/Celerra training? Would i get the same sort of learning with the VNX training? Will my certs be useless in Clariion and Celerra? And finally, my most important question of all...

Will there be some sort of upgrade exam for anyone who has clariion/celerra certification, considering it's more or less the same thing as the unified NS series? It would seem a waste to do the VNX course if you know 80% of what you need to know... right?

Help!

While i'm at it, is there somewhere i can read about the differences of the NS (unified storage series) and the VNX range?
