Certified Data Centre Environmental Sustainability Specialist (CDESS)
Become a Certified Data Centre Environmental Sustainability Specialist (CDESS) and lead the way in eco-friendly data center operations. Master green energy solutions, carbon footprint reduction, and sustainable practices for a greener future in the tech industry.
Overview
The CDESS® course is aimed at providing knowledge of the standards and guidelines related to environmental sustainability, and how to move your data centre (existing or new) to a more environmentally sustainable design and operations.
More data centres are being built, driven by the explosion of data and the processing power required for IoT (Internet of things) sensors and AI (Artifficial Intelligence). The percentage of total power consumption by data centres is growing in parallel. It has become vitally important that data centres are optimized for energy efficiency and designed for environmental sustainability.
Audience
The primary audience for this course is any IT, facilities or data centre professional who works in and around the data centre and has the responsibility to achieve and improve efficiency and environmental sustainability, whilst maintaining the availability and manageability of the data centre.
Prerequisites
Participants must have at least one to two years’ experience in a data centre or facilities environment. The CDCP® is highly recommended. The CDESS® will discuss data centre facility aspects and without the CDCP® or equivalent knowledge, the participant may not be able to gain the full benefits of the CDESS® training.
