DC102: Applied Data Center Design
and Best Practices Virtual Training
Course Description
BICSI's DC102: Applied Data Center Design and Best Practices
course is a five-day course that provides an in-depth review of best practices
for designing data centers. In this course you will be introduced to various
data center infrastructure systems. In addition, you will have an opportunity
to apply what you have learned by engaging in case studies, discussions, and real-world scenarios, as well as gain practical application in ICT data center design best practices. After completing this course, you should be able to design a data center based on a set of given requirements; this will include both new and retrofit designs.
In
addition to data center design, the course will also include life safety
practices such as grounding and bonding to ensure that you can account for these
issues when designing a data center. On the last day of the course, you will be
able to evaluate your learning through a final project and a comprehensive
course assessment.
