Data centers are the heart of many organizations.
Data center downtime can result in significant losses for the company. Therefore, many organizations establish resilience at various levels, such as the data center infrastructure or the ICT level. However, information from recommendations from various vendors, consultants, and government agencies can lead to under- or over-specification.
Therefore, it is better to use a generally accepted standard as a basis for design and construction principles.
The ANSI/TIA-942 standard defines requirements and guidelines for the design and construction of data centers. The standard is intended for designers who require a comprehensive understanding of data center design.
The requirements and guidelines cover architecture, mechanics, electrical and telecommunications, which are not always covered by other general guidelines or defined by so-called “standards”.
Understanding the purpose of the ANSI/TIA-942 standard is fundamental not only for the successful construction of a data center, but also for its sustainable operation. In this three-day course, participants will learn how to design an ANSI/TIA-942 compliant data center and gain a clear understanding of the requirements of the ANSI/TIA-942 standard and possible variations in implementation.
The course is ideal for all types of data centers, such as enterprise or multi-tenant data centers, third-party data centers such as co-location, managed services, and cloud service providers.
