SAN or Storage Area Networking industry is vast & has huge demand for professionals – the industry is exploding due to the high demand of Storage needs for growing data centers, growing news & broadcasting domains you name it every business needs a huge data storage. So imagine Google its gmail gives 2 GB for each mail subscriber so if it gives gmail access to say 1000 new comers every month their data storage need increases at 2 Terra byte or 2000 GB per month – thats a very very minute example of what gmail is actually growing into. Take any news channel they digitise all their content and every day they need more than 100 Terrabyte to store all their video content. So now you can very well understand how the storage needs are exponentially growing.
When storage needs are growing then some of the core storage jobs are growing since all these industries need human resources or technical expertise to handle the operations. I will say there are atleast a 1000 SAN professionals are required every month across all companies and thats increasing in a big way.

5. How is a regular day go with u as a SAN engineer
Regular day in a Storage Professionals Office Life
What are the daily tasks of a SAN professional – What are the routine jobs he is responsible for – What happens in a SAN industry engineers’ day in office.
Answer :
As with any software professional’s life the day starts with a brief review of going through the Mails – Since we are dependent on many other teams who are located in different time zones & geos we usually find nearly 50 to 150 new emails in our inbox when we start our day.
We go through all these mails – some of them are very much relevant to our day’s tasks like “Storage Product enhancement or development efforts ” , ” New fixes which will impact our earlier planning” , Lots of organisation wide mails saying who will be our new director or finance manager , Lots of Network or system or UPS outage mails , Lots of mails about the CR’s (Change request or Bugs) which we or one our teammate has logged and what are the latest updates regarding these bugs. The list of mails is endless so we better can have a separate posting for that.
Then based on our mails and our seniors(manager or lead) inputs and also based on our earlier days work we make our small “To Do ” list for the day which is some how planned with keeping in mind the “Dreaded Project Deadlines” ( End dates for us to finish the assigned tasks).
An example of our To Do list can be something like :
1. Go through the docs about the new features coming in the next release or version of the storage area network product.
2. Setup a test environment to reproduce the CR’s or bugs logged by customers. ( the end users of our storage products)
3. Verify the CR’s fixed by dev team ( we logged 10 bugs last week they fixed it 2 days back & delivered the new fix in our latest build of the product yesterday so we need to verify it today ) – We need to verify the fix & say that the fix has resolved the issue also called the product defect or NOT. If the bug is fixed (resolved) we close the CR saying the FIX is FINE(works) else we say the FIX has failed ( the bug still exists & the development team has not fixed it properly)
4. Write new test scripts to check the regressions filed by customers – We also do test development ( We develop and script or code the test cases or test scenarios – this involves lot of learning , implementation & improving )
5. Setup new 2 Terrabyte disk array & test how well is it working with latest Vista or latest Suse or RHEL linux.
the list grows along the day & some of them move for next day’s ToDo list.
Then we start the actuall work to accomplish what we have put in our ToDO list.
We may be working with new release of our SAN product and need to carry out sanity checks on the builds ,creating setups with different hardware and configurations and Operating Systems. We try to replicate customer network setups as far as possible but a customer like Citibank can have a huge SAN network costing billions of dollars what we can afford to replicate is no where comparable to that. We can say we setup a scaled down SAN network to work in our lab for all our work.

6.How will be a SAN or Storage technology job interview ?
Each Company will follow a little different strategy for hiring a storage Proffessional still below information will give you a big advantage to prepare well for the actual interview.Storage is very vast technology area if you are appearing for a Storage Testing Professional’s interview, Inertviewer will try to assess your abilities in the following segments.
1) Domain
2) Platforms or Operating Systems
3) Development or Testing Skills
Domain: Interviewer tries to know which part of storage you are working with or had worked earlier .You might say SAN Product test engineer,Firmware driver Test Engineer or Protocols testing Engineer. They try to assess which is your core area of working if you are a SAN Product Test Engineer they may ask about the architecture of the product ,how do you install it, how do you test it.What is the Protocols supported and what all topologies it can manage.
If you are Firmware or Driver testing engineer you will asked in Firmware and Driver model , installation ,how you test firmware for stability and their compatibilty with different OS’es.If you are Testing Protocols they might want to ask how you setup the framework for testing the protocols ,which are the tools you are using .
2) Platforms or Operating Systems.
Here they try to know how many OS’s you have worked on and what extent you know them,in any company they expect you to know atlest more than 2 OS’es very well.
They might ask how you can install os’es with 3rd party drivers,how to use I/O and some configuration mangement tools.Also questions about where to find debug messeges is very frequent.
3)Core Skill :
If you were a SAN developer they might ask many questions relevant to your development aspects – questions on the programming languages, scripts, Your Configuration management etc
If you are a SAN Tester they might ask you questions on testing ,life cycles and defect tracking tools and automation tools if you know any.
Yes we’ve been doing lots of Live online training on Software testing. Read below to find more.
Our team did a Live Online seminar or webinar on Software Career. They covered
topics like “Tips for preparing for a Technical Interview”
“Career opportunities in Software Testing” ,
“Best ways to answer Software Testing Interview Questions with an example of
20 Interview Questions with answers”
So after doing several Live Webinars here is the overall experience.
Doing a Live Webinar definitely requires preparation. Live webinar for people
who are not aware of is like a Live Seminar just that people login on internet/online
some people can use telephone to login too. No matter how people login they all
participate on this Online Live Seminar. Those who login using internet have an
advantage over the ones logged in using telephone, which is the ones on computer
get to see the presentation along with hearing the audio.
So for the 1st Live Webnar on “Career Opportunities in Sw Testing” nearly
300 people registered . These webinars were hosting using Gotowebinar so
interested people first register & then they get an email with a link
which if they click at the time of the webinar they can Login & participate
in the webinar.
So out of 300 people who registered only 40 people actually logged in & participated
in the live webinar. Our team did not get an idea like why so many missed attending
the Live webinar. It may be because this one was done on a Sunday was the most
consoling answer my team got.
Those who want to listen to this can check out softwarejobsvideos.com/webinar2/
to see a replay of this webinar.
Then this team did another Live Webinar covering “20 Interview Questions with answers
on Software Testing” which nearly 400+ people registered out of which only 20+ turned up.
This was a little more shocking ’cause the topic was of soo much interest to soo many.
Those who want to listen to this can check out softwarejobsvideos.com/webinar1/
to see a replay of this webinar.
The reason why very few logged in live may be ’cause the time of webinar was not
suitable to many people & the day being a thursday evening many people were busy with
their work.
So my team is planning to do some crazy thing this time. They are planning to do
a 6 hour marathon(lengthy) seminar on “Software Testing, Software Career Tips,
Interview Preparation tips all combined”
This webinar DOES NOT COST you anything, its FREE to join.
Above is the link to register for this 6 hour lengthy webinar on Tech,Career stuff.
Whats the reason they want to do a 6 hour webinar – to accomodate people from different
time zones to login at a convenient time & to get real valuable info. To help those
people who get reminded about the webinar only after it got ended that this is not a
1 or 2 hour webinar to end so early so you still can login & listen however long it
is fine for you to listen. Definitely since they are going to cover lots of technical
stuff related to Software interview preparation, Software project process & things like that
you may NOT to want to miss this.
Take note video replay of this 6 hour webinar will not be made available to general public.
So make sure you attend the live webinar without fail.
Atleast this time around my time aims to see 60% of those who register to attend this
Live Webinar event. Please dont feel bad if you get lots of reminder emails about
attending this webinar once you register. Its just that when someone is providing
6 hours of valuable information to help your Career it just benefits if you take time
to login & listen.
let us see how many people will login to this online event.
We will keep you informed for sure.
Thanks for reading this lengthy email. Detailed info if we want to share
takes more sentences sorry.
Hope to see you logged in live on the webinar
