Who should attend
The audience for the HP ASE – Cloud Integrator certification is primarily HP partner and employee technical architects and specialists with a strong Converged Infrastructure or data center background. HP customers who are implementing Matrix and Cloud Service Automation for Matrix and are assisting in deployment are a secondary audience. The technical specialist can have expertise in either hardware infrastructure (storage, servers, and networking) or software solutions (automation, security software), although the certification will focus on the software CSA solution.
