Master the skills to manage Pure Storage FlashArray across the enterprise — install, configure, optimise, and troubleshoot your FlashArray storage. Lead your organisation to ensure infrastructure is reliable, resilient, and secure, while leveraging cloud elasticity and performance.
The FASP certification validates professional-level expertise in managing Pure Storage FlashArray across the enterprise. It demonstrates your ability to install, configure, optimise, and troubleshoot FlashArray storage infrastructure, ensuring it is reliable, resilient, and secure while providing the elasticity and cloud-opportunity that modern enterprise workloads demand.
The exam spans 5 domains: Administration (30%), Monitoring (20%), Troubleshooting (20%), Data Protection (18%), and FlashArray Files (12%) — covering everything from volume and host configuration to SafeMode, ActiveDR, ActiveCluster, and FA File Services with AD Join, SMB, and NFS. 60 scored + 10–15 unscored questions in 120 minutes.
Configure volumes, host connections, iSCSI/FC initiator groups, and manage array-wide settings including security and authentication (SAML, LDAP, MFA) across enterprise FlashArray deployments
Monitor FlashArray using Pure1 and GUI — interpret data reduction ratios, effective capacity, Meta forecasting, and generate reports to proactively manage storage capacity adjustments
Troubleshoot FlashArray issues — identify port configurations, interpret alerts, recognise incorrect configurations, and use Pure Support resources to shorten time-to-resolution
Configure data protection features — snapshot policies, async and sync replication, Protection Groups, SafeMode immutable snapshots, ActiveDR, and ActiveCluster for stretch clusters
Configure FlashArray File Services — AD Join, SMB share access, NFS export access, and FA Files ActiveDR for near-zero RPO file data availability across data centres
Configure host connectivity plugins — VMware vSphere VASA, vCenter plugin, Kubernetes Pure Service Orchestrator (PSO), and multipathing for FC and iSCSI host connections
