Course Description
IT professionals who work in or around data centers are responsible for making sure the data center runs smoothly and is reliable. They're involved in making decisions about how to set up, improve, or move important data centers.
Nowadays, most businesses rely on IT to provide important services directly to customers. Because of this, it's really important for data centers to be managed, designed, and operated in a way that guarantees they'll be available when needed and work efficiently. However, many data centers don't meet all the requirements for availability, capacity, safety, or efficiency that businesses need.
