BICSI’s DC102: Applied Data Center Design and Best Practices course
The BICSI DCDC course is a five-day course that provides an in-depth review of best practices for designing data centres. In this course you will be introduced to various data centre infrastructure systems. In addition, you will have an opportunity to apply what you have learned by engaging in case studies, discussions and real-world scenarios, as well as gain practical application in data centre design best practices. After completing this course, you should be able to design a data centre based on a set of given requirements; this will include both new and retrofit designs.
In addition to data centre design, the course will also include life safety practices such as grounding and bonding to ensure that you can account for these issues when designing a data centre.
