I've never even heard of this software, let alone what it does.

Closest to using anything from EMC was using the SAN routers that my last company made (some of which are rebranded for lots of different companies).

Yeah I would be supporting their SAN hardware in conjunction with their SAN Software. Big step for me but I'm willing to do it.
Ferno, SAN = Storage Area Networks The best thing to LAN Storage.

Cool, good luck with the interview.
Looks like Crossroads is still partnered with EMC, though since I haven't worked there in years (and the products I was helping to QA no longer exist), who knows what exactly they do with each other now.
The SAN space can be interesting, should be fun.

Well, the good side is I did get the job but the bad side is I refused it. It's a call centre and I'm not interested in doing that. Specially when it's 8 hr shifts that rotated 24/7. If it had been hands on, I would of taken it.
Oh well, back to the job pool.

Yea, rotating shift work is rough. My Dad did it for 20+ years. Made an old man out of him fast.
Good luck on the ATI job!
