All data center designs are judged by their ability to provide continuous operations for the network services they support. When construction of the data center is complete, data center operations & maintenance begins. PTS provides outsourced data center operations and maintenance services and solutions to support data center managers. These services may include comprehensive operational. These UPSs required routine maintenance such as adjustment, torquing and cleaning in order to deliver the desired availability. A maintenance person would be required to spend 6.

Data centers never shut down, and the doors don’t ever really close. With 24/7 access for those with security clearance, plus round-the-clock monitoring by NOC staff and engineers, data centers don’t really need a walkthrough to close up shop, unlike many other businesses.
That doesn’t mean that a similar process isn’t followed at the end of every shift or periodically throughout the day, however.
At Green House Data, the Global Support Center staff members are charged with walkthroughs to ensure proper operation of the data center from entrance to loading dock. Use this as a template for your own facility — or read it as assurance that we’re doing all we can to guarantee 100% uptime and a great customer experience.

The Certified Data Centre Technician Professional (CDCTP®) program is aimed at the numerous technicians across the spectrum of mission critical data centre facilities. It provides a holistic understanding of the key environments and the dependencies and inter-dependencies they have upon one another.
The program is designed to address the need for a designation that allows individuals to demonstrate unrivalled levels of skill and knowledge and to assist them to become key operational assets in their organisation and data centre facility.
Ensuring zero downtime within the mission critical data centre environment involves having highly competent technicians who demonstrate unrivalled technical knowledge and skills. Those with CDCTP® certification are increasingly seen as a vital component to the smooth running of any data centre operation and this program gives learners the ability to identify, decipher, impact assess and remedy potential problems quickly, decisively and accurately.
This program explores the wide range of subjects relevant to the data centre technician including a detailed breakdown of the key operating environments (power, cooling, IT and supporting systems), the necessary operational policies, procedures and compliance based on legislation, standards (national & international) and codes of conduct, as well as detailed analysis of current measuring, monitoring and auditing techniques.
This is a content rich program where the technical content is continually updated to reflect developments covering installation, maintenance (routine and preventive planned) and decommissioning working practices.
