Certified Data Centre Design Professional(CDCDPTM) – Full Programme Date: Venue:
17 to 25 July 2013 (7-day) Malaysia
Course Overview: Since CNet Training launched it in 2005, the CDCDP™ has quickly established itself as the world’s leading designation for data centre professionals. The Core Unit of the certification covers the CDCD™ element of the course. An essential certification for individuals wishing to highlight their expertise and progress their career in the data centre sector, it has been designed by CNet Training’s renowned in-house experts to satisfy the need for skilled personnel who have the highest levels of knowledge and competency. Delegates are given a detailed overview of best practice design principles for the design, construction and operation of data centres. British, European, US and International standards are examined in detail and case studies are used to demonstrate best practice. A comprehensive design exercise leads delegates through the various steps, milestones and vital decisions that are needed throughout the configuration process.
Course Structure: The CDCDP™ course is classroom based and led by one of CNet Training’s expert instructors. It is divided into the following two units that can be taken independently in the following sequence: Core Unit This three day course covers the essential elements of data centre design including the importance of design project management, scoping the requirement, design strategy, raised access floors, cabinets, power, cooling, earthing and bonding, copper and fibre optic cabling, and cable management. After completing the Core Unit delegates are awarded the CDCD™ designation. Advanced Professional Unit This four-day course comprises a comprehensive analysis of the four vital elements of data centre design – power, cooling, efficiency and management.
Post Completion: As well as achieving the prestigious CDCDP™ certification delegates will also receive the Level 5 BTEC Advanced Professional Award in Data Centre Design.
Delegate Profile: The course is designed for individuals involved with, or responsible for, the management of an existing data centre or those looking to achieve best practice when designing and implementing these facilities. Suitable for those with experience in the data centre sector, the course covers in-depth issues on a wide range of relevant topics and is consistently updated to reflect the latest trends and developments.
Why Attend?: Delegates will come away with a comprehensive insight into the essential elements of data centre design and how to address them in a variety of situations and applications.
Prerequisite: Experience of the data centre environment is essential
Course Objectives: Delegates will come away with a comprehensive insight into the essential elements of data centre design and how to address them in a variety of situations and applications.
