HCE-3700 Hitachi Vantara Certified Expert - Performance Architect
About HCE-3700 Hitachi Vantara Certified Expert - Performance Architect Certification
HCE-3700 exam is designed for Hitachi Vantara employees and partners who architect and support Hitachi Vantara storage solutions. The test validates that the successful candidate has knowledge of storage performance concepts, Hitachi storage performance tools and products and standard performance-analysis tools and procedures.
Who should take the exam?
This exam is suitable for Hitachi Vantara employee and partner solutions architects. They also should have a deep understanding of RAID, I/O concepts and storage-design principles. In a pre-sales engineering role, architects assess, plan and design storage solutions and develop proposals that meet the business needs and performance expectations of Hitachi Vantara customers. In a storage-engineering role and in association with implementation personnel, they present and propose deployment and support plans for the solutions. In a solutions-support role, they provide services to customers to assist them with the location, identification and resolution of performance-related issues.
