Motivated EMCISA wondering what's next...
I've successfully passed the E20-001 ISM exam. I liked to stay focused on the Storage Administrator track and begin preparing for a "Specialist Level" exam. Out of the ones available (listed below), I'm not certain as to what might be the most popular, or the most valuable speciality exam to take. I'd appreciate any guidance and would love to hear what you ladies and gents have to say about the matter.
Backup and Recovery - Avamar
Backup and Recovery - NetWorker
Storage Management
Storage Area Network (SAN)
Network Attached Stroage (NAS)
Symmetrix Solutions
CLARiiON Solutions
By the way, I'm Justin! Thanks for the help.

Hello Justin,
Congratulations on achieving EMCISA.
Regarding your sentence "I'm not certain as to what might be the most popular, or the most valuable speciality exam to take."................
Well, I think the answer is very subjective and will depend on:
The first 2 bullet points are probably around enjoyment/interest, and the 3rd bullet point is probably more practical/commercial.
If the practical benefit (3rd bullet) is not clear to you in order to answer your question, then, I would just ask myself "When studying for ISM, which specialism held my interest the most?"
HTH, Richard.
P.S. I hope it's OK to use the word 'enjoyment' in this context... I think so
P.P.S. Bullets 1 and 2 are definitely not the same.
