Technologies which were anticipated to vanish, such as the mainframe, have made a C&;lElJ8Cl( and new technologies such as blade-servers and others have been added to the product portfolio of many vendors. ICT is constantly changing at an increasingly faster pace, whether it is at the core level, such as CPU specifications, or at the overall infrastructure architecture layer, such as Storage Area Networks etc.
it is therefore somewhat surprising that data centres and supporting technologies for mission critical site facilities have not really improved or altered at a similar rate. For example, the UPS technology known as ‘true online double conversion’ has been ironed out, with only minor enhancements, but has not undergone dramatic improvements as have computer-based systems over the past few years. With ICT becoming more and more critical for most businesses, it is quite surprising that many companies and their business leaders seem to focus their attention squarely on the ‘feeds and speeds’ of new computers, storage and network technologies, but ‘forget’ the impact they have on the data centre. Most data centres are built and left the way they are for many years.
Hundreds of thousands of dollars are spent on wheeling in new equipment and rolling out new business applications but virtually no dollars are spent on reviewing and enhancing data centres to support these technology changes —yet these very business leaders are increasingly aware of the significance and reliance their businesses have on the data centre! EPl' performs numerous data centre audits and certifications world-wide and has discovered that most “IT professionals” inherit the daunting task of setting up and operating the data centre whilst they have never been formally trained in managing data centre facilities. Similarly, it occurs that ‘Facilities Specialists’ are tasked to keep the data centre running whilst they have no idea about what the exact requirements are for the new technologies which the ICT department intends to deploy in the data centre. This potentially leads to confusion and disastrous events which could have been avoided by training both ICT and Facilities professionals with the basic skills on mission critical data centre facilities. The CNCDP course is aimed at enhancing the data centre network cabling design and operations of to make these more efficient and effective in achieving high-availability with a reduced risk for down time.
The CNCDP course is unique and we hope that with the knowledge gained from this course you will increase your competencies and minimize risks of downtime for your organizations.
