Validate your comprehensive knowledge and experience of Pure Storage data protection methods and technologies — from local protection and SafeMode snapshots to cross-platform replication, ActiveDR, ActiveCluster, Kubernetes protection, and Pure Protect.
The DPP certification demonstrates that your Pure Storage data protection knowledge is both broad and deep. It validates understanding of business and technical requirements relevant to data protection across the entire Pure Storage platform — FlashArray, FlashBlade, and Cloud — and the ability to identify the most appropriate data protection solution for any given business scenario.
This Professional-level exam covers 3 domains: Off System Protection (40%), Local Protection (32%), and Tools and Planning (28%) — with 60 scored plus 10–15 unscored questions in 120 minutes. Candidates should have 3+ years of data protection experience and 2+ years of hands-on Pure Storage experience.
Configure and manage local data protection — volume snapshots, protection groups, snapshot policies, and SafeMode immutable snapshots for ransomware-resistant data recovery on FlashArray and FlashBlade
Implement off-system protection strategies — snapshot replication, file replication, object replication, pod-based replication, and cloud offload targets across Pure Storage platforms
Deploy and manage ActiveDR for asynchronous replication and ActiveCluster for synchronous zero-RPO replication — providing business continuity across sites and cloud environments
Protect Kubernetes-native workloads using Pure Storage integrations — Portworx Data Protection, PSO snapshots, and application-consistent backup for containerised environments
Use Pure1 Data Protection Assessment Dashboard, Pure1 Anomaly Detection, and Pure1 Data Resiliency Score to assess and optimise the data protection posture of Pure Storage environments
Architect comprehensive data protection strategies — evaluate feature compatibility, use the Sizer Tool for capacity planning, and align ESG sustainability goals with data protection architecture decisions
Data protection architects and senior storage engineers with 3+ years of DP experience and 2+ years of Pure Storage hands-on experience who want a Professional-level credential validating platform-wide data protection expertise
Enterprise IT professionals responsible for backup, recovery, business continuity, and disaster recovery strategy across FlashArray, FlashBlade, and cloud — who need to demonstrate depth and breadth of Pure Storage DP knowledge
Platform engineers managing Kubernetes data protection using Pure Storage integrations (Portworx, PSO) who need certified knowledge of container-native backup and recovery on Pure platforms
Storage consultants and pre-sales engineers who design and present Pure Storage data protection solutions and need the DPP credential to validate their authority on Pure DP best practices and product features
