Data Centre Efficiency
Many business activities today are moving away from paper-based systems and towards
the processing, storage and management of digital information. Therefore the data centre
has become a critical part of the business function. In recent years we have
experienced a period of major growth in data centre builds, due mainly to the ever
increasing demands for data processing applications. This increase is being driven by
many factors including to name just a few, online banking and shopping, electronic
medical and other personal records, multimedia communication and entertainment
packages offered by Internet Service Providers (ISPs).
Data centres need large amounts of power to drive both the IT equipment and the
supporting infrastructure such as air conditioning, and with today’s increasing energy
costs and carbon emission concerns, data centre efficiency is paramount.
This one-day course will discuss these issues in detail and look at various ways in which
more efficient data centre operations can be implemented.
