Position yourself as an expert on the fastest growing category of server products on the market: the HP BladeSystem products. The current HP ProLiant Server certification track for AIS, ASE and APS has separated into the "HP BladeSystem track" and the "HP ProLiant ML/DL Servers track".

Pursue the BladeSystem track and concentrate specifically on the BladeSystem products with:

» ASE – HP BladeSystem [2007]
» AIS – HP BladeSystem [2007]
» APS – HP BladeSystem [2007]

Pursue the ProLiant ML/DL track (with longer periods between updates) with these credentials:

» ASE – HP ProLiant ML/DL Servers [2007]
» AIS – HP ProLiant ML/DL Servers [2007]
» APS – HP ProLiant ML/DL Servers [2007]

Already hold a ProLiant AIS, ASE, or APS credential?

Depending upon the credential you currently hold and how you acquired that credential, you may be able to attain the 2007 credential via an abbreviated (upgrade) path, or possibly even qualify to be automatically "grandfathered" into the 2007 credential. Please consult the Upgrade paths for new BladeSystem and ProLiant ML/DL credentials chart for details.

ProLiant 2005 credentials are now "transitional"

» ASE – HP ProLiant Servers [2005]
» AIS – HP ProLiant Servers [2005]
» APS – HP ProLiant Servers [2005]

These credentials are still attainable (until 1 August 2008). If you have already started pursuing one of these, you can continue to work toward acquiring it. However, new candidates are encouraged to attain the 2007 credential of their choice.

Note: If you work for an HP channel partner, your company may require you to upgrade your current credential or earn a new credential in order to support partner program requirements.

New "HP Server Fundamentals"

A new collection of courses, exams and credentials that provide the basics of server architecture and technology are now the prerequisite for both the APS and AIS level certifications within the BladeSystem and ProLiant ML/DL tracks.  Detailed information is included on the credential requirements page for the credential you are interested in.
