HPE0-V25, titled HPE Hybrid Cloud Solutions, is the exam that earned the HPE ATP Hybrid Cloud credential from Hewlett Packard Enterprise. It tests foundational knowledge of how HPE positions servers, storage, networking, HPE GreenLake and management tools for customers, with a strong lean toward small and midsize business scenarios. It is aimed at presales engineers, solution consultants, partner technical staff and administrators who recommend or support HPE infrastructure. HPE now lists the exam as inactive from July 1, 2026, so check the current status before you plan around it.
HPE’s certification catalog marks HPE0-V25 and the HPE ATP Hybrid Cloud certification as inactive on July 1, 2026. The related five day course, Rev. 25.11, carries the same notice. If you hold study material or an exam booking tied to this code, confirm on HPE’s certification site whether it can still be scheduled in your region.
The same catalog lists HPE0-V27, HPE Edge-to-Cloud Solutions, under the HPE ASE Edge-to-Cloud Architect path. That exam targets architects who plan and design HPE solutions, so it sits at a more advanced level than HPE0-V25. Compare the two datasheets before choosing a path.
HPE describes the exam as a check of foundational skills across the HPE edge to cloud strategy. That covers server, storage and networking products, HPE GreenLake consumption services, management tools, and the architectures and consumption models behind them. The official study guide expands this into practical tasks: gathering customer business and technical requirements, recommending compute and storage platforms, positioning private cloud offerings such as HPE VM Essentials and HPE Private Cloud AI, explaining networking options, and validating, installing, configuring and upgrading SMB solutions.
HPE describes the typical candidate as someone with roughly six to twelve months of experience designing or implementing foundational HPE solutions. That experience should span at least one, and preferably several, of these areas: cloud services, compute, storage, networking and services. The candidate helps design solutions and takes part in integration and administration work. The datasheet frames this as an ideal profile, and I found no mandatory prerequisite certification listed for this exam.
The exam is proctored. Recent HPE datasheet versions list 60 questions and a 90 minute time limit, while an older listing showed 50 questions, so verify the current count when you register. HPE also lets candidates leave comments on individual questions during the session. The passing score is set by HPE and is not something third party sites should be trusted to state for you.
HPE publishes weighted objectives. Two that appear on the datasheet are:
Recommend and position HPE offerings for customer use cases (15 percent). This includes describing and differentiating traditional HPE solutions from HPE GreenLake offerings, comparing the customer experience of each, and deciding when a customer requirement points toward HPE GreenLake cloud services.
Install, configure and upgrade HPE SMB solutions (12 percent). This extends into troubleshooting, repairing, administering and operating those solutions.
Named tools in the objectives include HPE InfoSight, HPE CloudPhysics, HPE OneView and HPE Assessment Foundry. Read the full objective list on HPE’s datasheet for the complete weighting, because the figures can change between exam versions.
Exams are scheduled through the Register link on HPE’s exam datasheet, which hands you to the proctored delivery partner. Exact steps, accepted identification, language options, rescheduling rules and the current fee are set by HPE and can differ by country, so follow the instructions on the official page rather than a third party summary.
HPE Press publishes an official study guide for the second edition of this exam and a short practice test of 30 questions. HPE also offered a five day instructor led course, ID 0001197140, with a lab component. Because the exam is now inactive, treat older material as background for HPE concepts rather than as a guide to a live exam.
The HPE ATP level is a foundational credential inside the HPE partner and customer ecosystem. It signals that you can match common workloads to the right HPE compute, storage and networking products and explain where HPE GreenLake fits. That makes it most relevant for presales, solution consulting and HPE focused administration roles. It is not a general cloud credential like those from the public cloud vendors, and it does not replace architect level HPE certifications.
If you are studying HPE hybrid cloud topics, the free practice tests on give you timed scenario questions and answer explanations. They work best alongside HPE’s own objectives and study guide, as a way to find weak areas before you commit to an exam.
