Certification Overview

Participants should know advanced topics about data centers, like picking the right power, space, and network setup for their organization. They should understand things like DC power and backup cooling systems, and how to keep power and cooling going at the same time (like having extra power and cooling just in case). They also need to know about monitoring the site, using biometric authentication, key cards, having guards on-site, and making security stronger with special cabinets. Besides that, they should be good at data center networking, which means they know how to reduce delays, understand important technologies, and know about global cloud services and virtualization, as well as IT convergence. After passing the Certified Data Centre Professional exam, the next step is taking the Certified Data Centre Specialist exam. Because businesses change quickly, companies need to be able to adapt fast. This certification helps people meet the needs of companies for more space, power, better networks, and strong security while keeping costs in check. Becoming a Certified Data Centre Specialist will help people work better with suppliers and understand if the offers they get from vendors are right and work well.
