Right now I have 60 of my facilities engineers going through DCPro’s Foundation of Mission Critical Infrastructure online certificate program. As well as finding the budget I need to help my team find the time to do this sort of thing - so I incorporate training time into my operational planning. The e-learning program takes then through all the principles that lay behind operating and maintaining a world class data center. I’m already noticing the difference.

There is a lot of useful information reference day to day operations from the infrastructure/IT to administrative tasks. The material included in the courses will allow our team to increase their knowledge base and apply it to their day to day activities, increasing efficiency and reducing risk. Regardless of how long you have worked in the Mission Critical industry it is always good to go back and review information on a periodic basis. Great refresher course for even those that have several years’ experience in the management and operation of mission critical facilities.
