Certified Data Center Professional - CDCP® (exam incl.) (English)

General information about this 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 datacenter 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 that are often demanded. The ever changing technologies put even more pressure on data center managers along with the faster pace at which these changes are required.
The Certied Datacenter Professional course is a two day course designed to expose participants to the key components of the data center. It will address how to setup and improve key aspects such as power, cooling, security, cabling, safety, etc. to ensure a hi-available data center. It will also address key operations and maintenance aspects.

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 Datacenters based on current and future needs
Describe all components important for hi-availability in a Datacenter and how to eectively setup the Datacenter
Name and apply the various industry standards
Describe the various technologies for UPS, resuppression, cooling, monitoring systems, cabling standards, etc. and to choose and apply them effectively to enhance the hi-availability of the Data Center at minimum cost
Review the electrical distribution system to avoid costly downtime
Enhance cooling capabilities and efficiency in the Datacenter by using techniques and technologies including new methodologies for high-power cooling
requirements of the future
Design a highly reliable and scalable network architecture and learn how to ensure installers apply proper testing techniques
Create effective maintenance contracts with equipment suppliers ensuring the best bang for the buck
Setup effective Data Center monitoring ensuring the right people get the right message
Ensure proper security measures, both process and technical are in place safeguarding your companies precious information in the datacenter

Target audience

The primary audience for this course is an IT, facilities or Datacenter Operations professional working in and around the data center and having the responsibility to achieve and improve hi-availability and manageability of the Data Center.

Requirements

While there are no specific prerequisites for the CDCP course, participants who have at least one/two year(s) of actual working experience in a Datacenter/facilities environment are best suited.
