Presales solution architects plan and design Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) solutions around what a customer needs, and HPE0-V18 tests that skill at associate level. About 70 percent of the exam sits in objectives built on a customer's requirements, use cases or proposals. The rest covers HPE private cloud, solution management, services and building a solution. When you practice with HPE0-V18 exam questions, read each scenario for what the customer actually needs before you look at the options.
