Data Centre Power - DCP™Course Overview
The data centre challenge is not just about hardware costs. It is increasingly about the reduction of energy consumption.
With the requirement for very high levels of availability; this means that standby or duplicated systems are provided for business critical data and applications.
Although hardware performance keeps increasing the total power consumed in data centres is also rising. The operational costs of commercial data centres are almost directly proportional to how much power is consumed by the equipment. Worse still, a lot of that power is wasted.
and effective use of power is the name of the game in major data centres, even to the extent that many operators turn off the lights.
This training course looks more closely at the different methods of providing
electrical power costs and face the so called IT Power Crisis.

Data Centre Cooling - DCC™Course Overview
On average, existing computer rooms and data centres have around twice the amount of cooling as they require, but many of them are still facing problems with hot spots.
The technology advances with blade servers and networking equipment enables the
creating extreme power and heat problems.
Power densities are increasing with many server racks already exceeding 10kW and future predictions of 20kW, 30kW and beyond leaving the traditional hot aisle/cold aisle approach is simply unable to effectively cope. More cooling plant requires more electrical power to drive it, yet supply companies cannot always guarantee it and the concern over carbon footprint is focusing companies on reducing their power use.

Course Overview
Many business activities today are moving away from paper-based systems and towards the processing, storage and management of digital information. Therefore the data centre has become a critical part of the business function. In recent years we have experienced a period of major growth in data centre builds, due mainly to the ever increasing demands for data processing applications.
This increase has been driven by many factors including, to name just a few, online banking and shopping, electronic medical and other personal records, multimedia communication and entertainment packages offered by Internet Service Providers (ISPs). This demand continues to rise with the emergence of more converged services such as IPTV.
Data centres need large amounts of power to drive both the IT equipment and the supporting infrastructure such as air conditioning, and with today’s increasing energy
This one-day course will discuss these issues in detail and look at various ways in
