Data Centre Training
It is a common problem in the industry that data centre professionals are expected to run data centre facilities (sometime with help from building management people) with little or no experience in that area. They are expected to understand environmental controls, power supplies, data communications and security standards without first being given the proper training on the requirements of today's IT equipment. In many instances this has resulted in data centre down times which lead to costly business interruptions.
All our courses and their related exams have been endorsed and accredited by 'ICOR'.ICOR operates wolrd-wide and is a not-for-profit education and credentialing organization that provides professional development, certification, thought-leadership, and the latest in research and industry trends in the area of organizational resilience.
