Data Centre Efficiency

Course Supplier: C-Net Telephone Number: 0121 326 2219 Cost: £550

Description:

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 is being 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). 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 costs and carbon emission concerns, data centre efficiency is paramount. This one-day course will discuss these issues in detail and look at various ways in which more efficient data centre operations can be implemented.

All the Data Centre Courses have been fully updated to take into account the equirements of the 2009 EU Code of Conduct on Data Centres Energy Efficiency.
