Training & Certification Guide

The VCP-DCV 2021 certification validates candidate skills to implement, manage, and troubleshoot a vSphere infrastructure, using best practices to provide a powerful, flexible, and secure foundation for business agility that can accelerate the transformation to cloud computing.

The Professional VMware vSphere 7.x (2V0-21.20) Exam validates that an individual can implement, manage, and troubleshoot a VMware vSphere® 7 infrastructure, which includes VMware ESXi™ 7 and VMware vCenter Server® 7.

The Professional VMware vSphere 7.x Exam (2V0-21.20), which leads to the VMware Certified Professional – Data Center Virtualization 2021 certification, is a 70-item exam with a passing score of 300 using a scaled method.

Candidates are given an exam time of 130 minutes, which includes adequate time to complete the exam for non-native English speakers.

A minimally qualified candidate (MQC) has 6-12 months hands-on experience implementing, managing and troubleshooting a vSphere 7 infrastructure. They are typically administrators, capable of performing deployment and administration of a virtual infrastructure using vSphere.

The candidate also has working knowledge of storage, networking, hardware, security, business continuity and disaster recovery concepts.
