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
