Practical Workshop in Data Centre Operations

Course Introduction

Over five focused days, this workshop-based course takes Data Centre Operations out of the textbook and into the reality of enterprise networks, systems and security operations. Participants work through regional case material, structured exercises and peer discussion, leaving with methods they can apply on their next working day.

• 02Select and adapt suitable approaches to Data Centre Operations for the constraints of enterprise networks, systems and security operations
• 03Diagnose weak spots in current practice and prioritise corrective action
• 04Use practical tools, checklists and templates that support day-to-day Data Centre Operations
• 05Leave with a prioritised list of improvements you can start within 30 days
