The Denodo Platform 7.0 Certified Architect (DEN70EDUCA) exam tests architects' knowledge of the Denodo Platform, and validates if they have the skills required by companies that use Denodo Platform 7.0.
DEN70EDUCA aims to provide organizations that use Denodo Platform 7.0 with a means of identifying suitably qualified data architects who understand the role and position of the Denodo Platform within their broader information architecture.
This exam covers the following technical topics and subject areas:
- Denodo Platform functionality, including:
- Governance and metadata management
- Security
- Performance optimization
- Caching
- Defining Denodo Platform use scenarios
- Defending the use of the Denodo Platform
- Conclusions
Denodo Platform functionality
In this section the examinee should demonstrate that they understand the key capabilities of data virtualization as it relates to the overall information architecture i.e.:
- Governance and metadata management
- Security
- Performance optimization
- Caching
How to prepare
This is a section that covers the key capabilities of data virtualization. These capabilities are covered in the Data Virtualization Architect course (DEN70EDUA01), specifically the candidate should be familiar with the topics discussed in the following modules of the Data Virtualization Architect course:
- Introduction to Data Virtualization for Architects
- Governance, Metadata Management, and Data Catalog
- Security
- Performance and Scalability (Part 1)
- Performance and Scalability (Part 2)
We highly recommend that candidates review all the materials from the Data VIrtualization Architect course prior to taking the exam.
In the Data Virtualization Basics tutorial you will get more information about the functionality of Virtual DataPort.
To help you to understand how it works and help you by practising with the Denodo users and roles, you can see the following videos:
- Creating a Denodo Database
- Creating LDAP data sources
- Denodo VDP: Authorization Privileges
- How to manage users and roles with Virtual DataPort
Defining Denodo Platform use scenarios
The questions in this section will cover different use case scenarios for the Denodo Platform. The questions address issues such as where and how to use and deploy the Denodo Platform in complex scenarios.
How to prepare
The Denodo Platform use scenarios are discussed in the following modules of the Data Virtualization Architect course:
- Introduction to Data Virtualization for Architects
- Data Virtualization Use Cases
- Deployment Architectures
Defending the use of the Denodo Platform
This final part of the Data Virtualization Architect exam discusses how to justify or defend the use of the Denodo Platform when challenged by other team members. These questions cover a broad range to possible objections to the use of Data Virtualization e.g. performance concerns, overlaps with other product capabilities, etc.
How to prepare
The Denodo Platform use scenarios are discussed in the following modules of the Data Virtualization Architect course:
- Introduction to Data Virtualization for Architects
- Data Virtualization in Action
- Data Virtualization Use Cases
- Performance (Part 1)
- Deployment Architectures
Conclusions
In this document, we have reviewed all the sections that are part of the Denodo Platform 7.0 Certified Architect exam with details and links to the most relevant Data Virtualization Architect course materials. As we have indicated in different sections, the best way to understand the Denodo Platform and how to apply it within your organization.
Here is a summary of all the resources that are available for preparing for the Denodo Platform 7.0 Certified Architect exam:
Denodo Community
The Denodo Community is where customers, partners, and users have access to information that can help them learn about the Denodo Platform and data virtualization. To earn a Denodo certification, begin by following these steps to start learning about data virtualization:
