I'm a SysAdmin with my hands in a lot of pies but I'm not an expert at any one subject matter. I'm looking at building myself up into a storage manager to handle SAN, NAS, clusters, backups, etc. What kind of demand is there for people with this type of training and experience in the long run? My current job offers plenty of chances to interact with the necessary hardware and software and my company will send me to pretty much any training I want. I just want to know if this is a healthy market for this skill-set.

Thanks.

Thanks for the input but not quite what I was looking for.

I've been out of the hardware side of things for about 7 years, but that sounds like a very narrow specialty. Make sure you don't paint yourself into a corner. Perhaps the best way to gauge demand would be to check out the job sites over a measurable period of time (say, 3 months) and see what pops up.

Huge demand for competent storage people.
