Certified Data Center Expert - CDCE® (exam incl.)

Participants must hold a valid CDCS certificate in order to register for this CDCE course.

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 center is designed, maintained and operated with hi-availability and efficiency in mind. Fact is, however, that most Datacenters do not meet the full availability, capacity, safety or efficiency requirements often demanded. The ever changing technologies put even more pressure on datacenter managers along with the faster pace at which these changes are required.

The Certified Datacenter 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 Center. 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 Datacenter project design experts

Our Datacenter Certifications are worldwide accredited by EXIN. The training is conducted in collaboration with EPI Training. On the last day of the course the EXIN exam will take place. The exam costs are included in the course fee.

Objectives

Choose an optimum site for mission critical Data Centers based on current and future needs
Describe all components important for hi-availability in a Data Center and how to effectively setup the Data Center
Understand the design lifecycle stages for Datacenter build projects and the phases involved in project execution
Analyze a business case and develop a project brief that is aimed at fullling the business resilience, site selection and design requirements for a t-for-purpose and suitably redundant mission critical Datacenter
Conduct technical level design reviews for a given set of preliminary design documents and perform a technical compliance audit of a set of final design development documents compliant to TIA standards
Understand how to read electrical Single Line Diagrams (SLE) and other related design documents, and be able to detect the most common design mistakes
Evaluate product datasheets and discriminate among technical specications and functional requirements for suitability against a set of given design requirements for a given site and business case
Correlate equipment specications to site design constraints, such as room size and space, oor loading capacity, cooling capacity, power quality conditions and maintenance requirements while ensuring equipment selection does not compromise desired tier level compliance
Develop Individual Equipment Test (IET) and Integrated Performance and Validation Test (IPVT) plans for a mission critical Datacenter
Develop guidelines and checklists for hand-over of a mission critical Datacenter facility, its architectural, mechanical, electrical, IT elements and documentation
Develop retirement plans for decommissioning and hand-over of an aged mission critical Data Centre facility.

Target audience

The primary audience for this course is an IT, facilities or Datacenter Operations professional working in and around the data centre and having oversight accountability or responsibility for achieving and improving high availability and manageability of the Datacenter and involved in the design/build, renovation
or relocation of a mission critical Datacenter.

Requirements
