The VMware vSAN Specialist v2 certification is designed for IT professionals who want to validate their expertise in deploying, managing, and optimizing VMware vSAN environments. This credential demonstrates your ability to design and operate hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) solutions that deliver storage efficiency, scalability, and high availability for modern workloads.

The exam covers key vSAN topics including architecture and components, cluster deployment, storage policy-based management (SPBM), fault domains, stretched cluster design, and data services such as deduplication, compression, and encryption. You will also be tested on vSAN health monitoring, performance optimization, capacity planning, and troubleshooting techniques to ensure smooth operations.

This certification is ideal for system administrators, virtualization engineers, and solution architects responsible for building or managing HCI solutions in enterprise environments. To succeed, you should have hands-on experience configuring vSAN clusters, creating storage policies, performing upgrades, and integrating vSAN with vSphere features such as DRS and HA.

By earning the VMware vSAN Specialist v2 credential, you prove your ability to deliver resilient and efficient storage solutions that align with business continuity and performance requirements.

Whether you are advancing your VMware skillset, preparing for more advanced HCI certifications, or supporting your organization’s transition to a software-defined data center, this certification validates your ability to deploy and manage VMware vSAN with confidence.
