Exam description
This exam tests the candidate’s ability to display competency with multiple VDI technologies and VDI deployment models. The candidate will also be tested on their understanding of automation, management, and orchestration tools relevant to VDI in order to optimize resiliency, availability, performance, deployment, and manageability.
Ideal candidate for this exam
This certification is targeted to solution architects who have experience gathering and evaluating customers’ stated requirements in order to architect and design a solution that delivers the desired user experience for desktop applications which may span different VDI technologies depending on the workloads. Candidates typically define business needs, propose, and may deploy, the solution.

This exam has 55 questions. Here are types of questions to expect:
Discrete Option Multiple Choice
Advice to help you take this exam
Complete the training and review all course materials and documents before you take the exam.
Use HPE Press study guides and additional reference materials; study guides, practice tests, and HPE books.
Exam items are based on expected knowledge acquired from job experience, an expected level of industry standard knowledge, or other prerequisites (events, supplemental materials, etc.).
Successful completion of the course or study materials alone, does not ensure you will pass the exam.
What to Expect with Discrete Option Multiple Choice (DOMC) exams:
This exam uses the DOMC question format. It is quite different than traditional multiple choice exams. It is designed to increase exam fairness, to protect exam integrity, your exam scores and your time.
How is DOMC different?
Instead of presenting all the answer options together at one time, DOMC questions present answer options one at a time, at random
When an answer option is presented, you select either Yes or No to indicate if the option is correct or not. This process repeats until the question concludes
You may see more than one correct option
You may receive as few as one option for each test question or several options
Once you move forward, you may not go back and change your response to a previous option
We created an HPE sample test to help you practice using this DOMC test format. During registration, you will be asked to confirm that you have completed the HPE DOMC sample test and understand how this exam will perform.
