Veeam Certified Architect Exam

Each exam delivery presents one case study: documentation of the information required to architect a Veeam solution following the Veeam Architecture Methodology (though some information is deliberately omitted for testing purposes).

The case studies are inspired by real-life examples, though details have been changed to protect privacy and to accommodate assessment. Each case study comprises five sections:

• Executive overview – a summary of the customer’s infrastructure, issues and requirements

• Solution concept – a high-level description of Veeam’s proposed solution

• Existing technical environment – a specification of the technical environment’s current state

• Business requirements – a specification of the customer’s requirements pertaining to the business

• Technical requirements – a specification of the customer’s technical requirements

Exam deliveries present a split-screen display. The case study is exhibited on the left side of the screen and is available throughout the exam. Each case study section has its own tab, which candidates can select to view as required

Duration: 90 minutes
Format: The questions are multiple-choice and require selection of one, two or three answers each
Number of questions: 40 exam questions related to the information provided in the case study
Passing score: 70%
Languages: English
Domains:
- Discovery (25%)
