““Data Center for Dummies.” This course was excellent to get a basic set of knowledge”
President, SB Ballard Construction Company“This course gave me a good basis to move forward with confidence in the future when working on data centers.”
Project Manager, SB Ballard Construction Company“Really informed conference that offered a ton of information regarding the current state of data centers and the direction that they are going towards in the future.”
Systems Engineer Tech II, Walmart East Data CenterData centers host the physical infrastructure that supports information technology (IT) systems, including servers, data storage devices, and network equipment. Data centers are considered critical infrastructure because of their role in supporting cloud computing, artificial intelligence, digital services, and global connectivity. To ensure secure and continuous data center operation, careful coordination of site selection, electrical and mechanical systems, and long-term operational considerations must be integrated into the planning and design process.
This course provides a practical overview of modern data center planning, design, and engineering, examining the key components of reliable and efficient data centers. Beginning with the evolution of data centers and current market drivers, attendees will develop a shared understanding of data center facility terminology and explore key planning principles such as site selection and utility engagement. Attendees will then examine the design of electrical and mechanical systems that support continuous data center operation.
This course also explores integrated facility design, commissioning, operational considerations, sustainability factors, and emerging approaches to power supply and construction methods, providing insight into the entire data center planning process. By the end of the course, attendees will have a clear understanding of how various planning, design, and engineering elements work together to support resilient, reliable, and cost-effective data center facilities.
