More data centres are being built, driven by the explosion of data and the processing power required for IoT (Internet of things) sensors and AI (Artificial Intelligence).

Data centre facilities operations management have proven to be the key differentiator between a data centre that is performing well or badly. The old believe that a fully redundant data centre facility will save the day is no longer true as many research outcomes have revealed that the majority of downtime is caused by the human factor. Policies, processes, procedures and work instructions should be carefully developed, ideally following relevant standards, to ensure an effcient and effective data centre operations which are also compliant to the required regulations.

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.
