Benefit from our experience of real data centre projects.
Using the practical experience derived by Capitoline from auditing and designing computer rooms and data centres comes this 3-day course that focuses on the best practices in the specification, sizing and design of computer rooms and data centres.
You will learn how to layout your Data Centre in the most energy efficient way.
Every two weeks, somewhere in the world, a major data centre suffers a major breakdown and loss of availability with an average downtime of 16 hours.
Find out how better design can reduce failures.
You will learn how to translate your IT requirement into an environmental specification including room sizes, cooling capacity, UPS sizing, Generator sizing and Power requirements.
