The DCDC class is a full 4-day course that provides an in-depth review of best practices involved in designing data centers. In this course, you will learn the critical steps and considerations for developing a data center design, from determining reliability and redundancy needs prior to site selection, through the process of designing critical infrastructure systems. All major facets of the data center design process are covered, with emphasis given to electrical, HVAC, telecommunications cabling, automation and control systems.
Created to use the best practices detailed in ANSI/BICSI 002-2011, Data Center Design and Implementation Best Practices, DC125 will teach you to apply the best practices and strategies learned during class in the multiple hands-on design exercises.
