This 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.
After completion of the course the participant will be able to:
1. Learn to properly comprehend and apply the ANSI/TIA-942 Standard requirements and guidelines
2. Understand the proper intent of the ANSI/TIA-942 Standard to avoid both over- and/or under-investment
3. Align the selection of redundancy levels and infrastructure investments to the business requirements.
4. 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
5. Understand how the ANSI/TIA-942 Standard relates to various worldwide standards
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.
