Certified TIA-942 Design Consultant

Data centres are at the core of many organisations. Downtime of the data centre could lead to major losses to the business. This has led many organisations to build resilience at various levels such as at the data centre facilities infrastructure and at the ICT layer. However, following recommendations of various vendors, consultants and public domain information might result in under- or over-specication. Therefore it would be better to follow a commonly accepted standard as the basis for the design and built principles.

The ANSI/TIA-942 Standard species requirements and guidelines for the design and build of a data centre. It is intended for use by designers who need a comprehensive understanding of the data centre design encompassing Architecture, Mechanical, Electrical and Telecom requirements and guidelines, not always covered by other generic guidelines and so called “standards”.

Understanding the intent of the ANSI/TIA-942 standard is of fundamental importance, not only for the successful implementation of the data centre, but also for its sustainable operations. In this three-day course, the participant will learn how to design an ANSI/TIA-942 compliant data centre. It will provide a clear understanding of the requirements of the ANSI/TIA-942 Standard and possible implementation variations.

The course is well suited for all types of data centres, be it enterprise data centres or multi-tenant, third party data centres such as co-location, managed services and cloud service providers.

Certified Data Centre Migration Specialist (VILT)

The CDMS^® is a 2-day course is designed to expose participants to a step-by-step methodology which will enable them to reduce the risks involved when undertaking a data centre migration. It will also give participants a lot of valuable practical hints and tips by trainers having extensive experience in moving and consolidating mission-critical data centre.

Data Centre Migration is a challenge where an increasing number of Organisations are facing relocation of their Data

Centre due to space, power and/or cooling limitations of their current facilities. A Data Centre move could also be voluntary due to other considerations such as consolidation of multiple data centre sites, targeting a lower cost of operation (Opex) by improving efficiency and other initiatives.

Data Centre Migrations are exceptionally high-risk undertakings, which most data centre professionals have never undertaken before, or have done only a few times in their life. The level of e ort put into the planning and discovery phase is directly proportionate to the amount of risk mitigated. It is an exercise that requires collaboration with various areas of the business with which one might not normally interface.

Certified Data Centre Facilities Operations Manager (VILT)

Managing the facilities of today’s hi-end and hi-availability data centres is an extremely demanding and complex task which is often under estimated. There is often very little appreciation and understanding of the complexities of managing today's mission critical data centres, especially since many of the data centres are operating at, or near, their design limits and downtime is never an option. The way a data centre is managed at the facilities layer makes all the difference. Even a data centre designed to Tier-4 as per the ANSI/TIA-942 standard could still experience many unscheduled down time events due to poor planning, operations, maintenance and management processes.

The CDFOM® course is a 3 day course which will enable participants to gain in-depth knowledge in managing data centre operations which include the following key subject matters; capacity planning, latest green initiatives, how to properly commission and de-commission equipment, compliance to safety standards, statutory compliance and international standards, managing people, vendor management, handling incident/crisis management as well how to keep operations really simple, manageable, effective and efficient and much more.

Certified Data Centre Expert (VILT)

With few exceptions, enterprises today rely on IT for the delivery of business-critical services - often directly to the end consumer. It is therefore vital that the mission critical data centre is designed, maintained and operated with hi-availability and efficiency in mind. Fact is, however, that most Data Centre's do not meet the full availability, capacity, safety or efficiency requirements often demanded. The ever changing technologies put even more pressure on data centre managers along with the faster pace at which these changes are required.

The Certified Data Centre Expert course is a five-day course designed to prepare participants to analyze a given business case and perform technical evaluation for a project plan and a set of designs for implementation of a mission critical Data Centre. The course also engages participants in product evaluations and demonstrates how to select equipment and develop equipment test scripts (IET) and integrated performance and validation testing (IPVT). CDCE® builds upon knowledge gained in CDCP® and CDCS® courses. Participants who pass the exam will join the industry’s elite Data Centre project design experts.

Certified Data Centre Professional

With few exceptions, enterprises today rely on IT for the delivery of business-critical services - often directly to the end consumer. It is therefore vital that the mission-critical data centre is designed, maintained and operated with high-availability and efficiency in mind. However, the fact is most data centres do not meet the full availability, capacity, safety or efficiency requirements that are often demanded. The ever-changing technologies places even greater pressure on data centre managers along with the faster pace at which these changes are required.

The CDCP® course is a 2-day course. It designed to expose participants to the key components of the data centre. It will address how to setup and improve key aspects such as power, cooling, security, cabling, safety, etc, to ensure a high-available data centre.
