TRAINING
Data Center Infrastructure
This training addresses all the issues of the different systems making up the infrastructure of a data center, and allows you to prepare for any renovation or new development with the main objectives of sustainability, availability and energy efficiency.
Prerequisites
This training requires no prerequisites. Knowledge of one or more of the following infrastructure systems is a plus: power distribution, structured cabling system, air conditioning system.
goals
Some data centers more than 5 years old no longer meet the new standards and find themselves facing a major risk of stopping production. This training addresses all the issues of the different systems making up the infrastructure of a data center, and allows you to prepare for any renovation or new development with the main objectives of sustainability, availability and energy efficiency.
