L’esame VMCE-A1: Design & Optimization V1 (VMCE-A1) è l’ultimo requisito per completare la certificazione Veeam Certified Architect (VMCA) designation, dopo aver seguito il corso VMCE-A: Design & Optimization V1. Rispetto all’esame VMCE è decisamente più tosto, del resto la certificazione stessa vuole posizionarsi ad un livello superiore.

Come per l’esame VMCE, va sostenuto presso un centro Pearson VUE riconosciuto (gli stessi del VMCE) e si avranno a disposizione 100 minuti di tempo (sarebbero 70, ma in Italia si ha diritto all’estensione del tempo di ulteriori 30 minuti). Se gestito bene, il tempo non è un problema.
