This CPD covers IT infrastructure information for consideration in the remodeling, refurbishment, regeneration and relocation of a data centre. This seminar is based around the particular aspects of data centre management using the real life example and case study from Nottingham County Council.

This seminar involves the different strategies that can be implemented to maximize energy efficiency of the data centre and the potential gains and compromises that could occur.

Thermal performance, more than any other element, will form the base line for the design of any enclosure. So much of today’s selection criteria for an optimal enclosure solution centres around thermal performance and, depending on the application, size, external ambient and internal heat load, can each have an impact on the design used to solve the system cooling.

This seminar has been designed to give a brief introduction to the IEC 61439 standard that will be in place from November 2014 and how it should be applied to the design and manufacture of low voltage assemblies in the UK to be compliant.

The presentation highlights that the choices made when specifying an enclosure can be one of the most important parts in protecting your investment. How, providing the right environment for the equipment being installed will deliver the best solution, safety and reliability.

The CPD examines how the need for datacenter capacity for edge computing and the Internet of Things will lead to new datacenter form factors, as well as new cloud computing and networking approaches. It also looks the arguments both for and against the rapid build-out of datacenters at the edge and an assessment of the types of workloads they will likely support.
