DURATION: 3 days (~24 hours)

COURSE INTRODUCTION

In this three-day course, the participant will learn how to design an ANSI/TIA-942 compliant data centre. It will provide a clear understanding of the requirements of the ANSI/TIA-942 Standard and possible implementation variations. This course is well suited for all types of data centres, be it enterprise data centres or multi-tenant, third party data centres such as co-location, managed services and cloud service providers.

COURSE OBJECTIVE

After finish the course, student will have knowledges and skills to:

• Learn to properly comprehend and apply the ANSI/TIA-942 Standard requirements and guidelines
• Understand the proper intent of the ANSI/TIA-942 Standard to avoid both over- and/or under-investment
• Align the selection of redundancy levels and infrastructure investments to the business requirements.
• Understand the criteria and requirements for a high-availability data centre design and how to effectively establish the data centre from the perspective of the ANSI/TIA-942 Standard
• Understand how the ANSI/TIA-942 Standard relates to various worldwide standards

AUDIENCE

The primary audience for this course are professionals involved with designing, building, maintaining and operating mission critical data centres and those who wish to attend the CTIA® (Certified TIA-942 Internal Auditor) course.

 PREREQUISITES

Participants must possess a valid data centre training certificate such as CDCP or any other approved equivalent. Please submit a copy of your certificate for verification upon registration for the CTDC course.
