Course Overview

Many business activities today are moving away from paper-based systems and towards the processing, storage and management of digital information. Therefore the data centre has become a critical part of the business function. In recent years we have experienced a period of major growth in data centre builds, due mainly to the ever increasing demands for data processing applications.

This increase has been driven by many factors including, to name just a few, online banking and shopping, electronic medical and other personal records, multimedia communication and entertainment packages offered by Internet Service Providers (ISPs). This demand continues to rise with the emergence of more converged services such as IPTV.

Data centres need large amounts of power to drive both the IT equipment and the supporting infrastructure such as air conditioning, and with today‚Äôs increasing energy costs and carbon emission concerns, data centre efficiency is paramount.

This one-day course will discuss these issues in detail and look at various ways in which more efficient data centre operations can be implemented.

All the Data Centre Courses have been fully updated to take into account the requirements of the 2009 EU Code of Conduct on Data Centres Energy Efficiency.
