If you hold the associate storage certification from Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE), that product knowledge helps, but on its own it won't carry you through HPE0-J82. This exam asks you to think like an architect. HPE gives 40 percent of it to evaluating a customer's environment, then planning and sizing a storage solution for their workloads and validating the proposal. Another third covers HPE storage architectures and technologies. Work through HPE0-J82 exam questions in that order, starting with the customer and ending with the product.
