Hello Mayank -

Welcome to the EMC Proven Professional community!

You mention the E20-001 and the Cloud Architect certification.  Just to clarify, these are 2 separate certifications. 

The E20-001 Information Storage and Management exam is the exam that supports EMC's Information Storage and Management Associate certification (EMCISA).  Information regarding the recommended curriculum can be found by clicking here.  Be sure to check out the EMC Proven Professional Starter Kit which is offered at a 72% savings!  It's a great foundation to building one's knowledge of storage management.

By 'many books' were you referring to the 4 self-paced e-Learning courses?  The link above provides details on 3 different purchase options; one of which includes 4 self-paced e-Learning courses.  This is only one of the purchase options and you can select the option that best suits your needs and learning style.  There is only 1 book published by EMC in support of this exam and more details on the book can be found here.

Cloud Architect is a new role based certification track offered by EMC.  The Specialist level certification (Virtualized Data Center and Cloud Infrastructure Design) does require the completion of a qualified Associate certification in addition to passing the Specialist level exam.  More details regarding Cloud Architect certification can be found here.

Thanks Graci,

It means I have to clear E20-001 certification and then I can apply for that.

Is the experience of 3+ year in Architecture/Design must ?

I am working in MS SQL Server and hence it will be difficult for me to get this exp. But I am interested in this certification.

Please guide me to the link for the price of these certifications.
