Candidates are expected to connect product and solution knowledge with practical customer, design, implementation, administration, troubleshooting, or sales decisions appropriate to this certification level.

The certification is intended for senior enterprise architects, lead presales consultants, and technical design authorities. It is relevant to career paths such as Principal Edge-to-Cloud Architect, Enterprise Cloud Architect, Technical Design Authority, Lead Solutions Consultant. Atmic Networks maps it to Expert Level for website filtering and to the roles listed later in this document. The credential can demonstrate a focused HPE capability or support progression through HPE ATP, ASE, Master ASE, solution, product, networking, or sales pathways.

The current earning route is: Pass HPE7-V01 Advanced HPE Edge-to-Cloud Solutions Written Exam; Pass HPE1-H04 Advanced HPE Edge-to-Cloud Solutions Practical Exam. Mandatory prerequisites are stated separately from recommended experience: HPE lists no separate certification prerequisite for the current new-candidate path; both required assessments must be completed. Candidates should use the active HPE Certification and Learning data card, complete the recommended training and labs, and confirm every exam identifier before registration. HPE is expanding modular curricula and badge exams, so a certification data card can show a proctored route, a modular route, or migration options.

HPE0, HPE6, and HPE7 exams are proctored through Pearson VUE test centers or OnVUE where available; HPE2 and HPE3 exams are timed web-based assessments; HPE1 and HPE4 are practical exams. This credential's current validity is three years from the achievement date under hpe's versionless technical-certification model. Candidates should retain score reports and monitor their HPE credential management profile for badges, expiration dates, prerequisites, and recertification requirements.
