Data Centre Infrastructure Course Overview


The Data Centre Infrastructure course is designed to help data centre professionals, such as IT administrators, understand the technologies and operational management techniques involved in owning and operating modern data centre facilities. It provides an in-depth understanding of the various systems and components used within a data centre environment.
The course focuses on the fundamentals of data centre infrastructure, including data centre architectures, network components, power and cooling systems, as well as security and risk management regulations. Participants in this course learn the basics of data centre operations, configurations and management. They will be expected to understand rack wiring requirements, server grooming and maintenance, troubleshooting and incident response procedures, and client server fault management systems.
Participants in this course will also learn about virtualization, cloud computing applications, and storage requirements. Additionally, the course will cover topics such as physical security, emergency preparedness, and disaster recovery plans.
At the end of this course, students will have a better understanding of how data centres are designed and operated, such as cooling, power, and virtualization. They will also have a better understanding of how IT administrators can plan, configure, and manage their data centre environment efficiently and securely.

This is a Rare Course and it can be take up to 3 weeks to arrange the training.

Says our CEO-
“It is an interesting story and dates back half a century. My father started a manufacturing business in India in the 1960's for import substitute electromechanical components such as microswitches. German and Japanese goods were held in high esteem so he named his company Essen Deinki (Essen is a well known industrial town in Germany and Deinki is Japanese for electric company). His products were very good quality and the fact that they sounded German and Japanese also helped. He did quite well. In 1970s he branched out into electronic products and again looked for a German name. This time he chose Koenig, and Koenig Electronics was born. In 1990s after graduating from college I was looking for a name for my company and Koenig Solutions sounded just right. Initially we had marketed under the brand of Digital Equipment Corporation but DEC went out of business and we switched to the Koenig name. Koenig is difficult to pronounce and marketeers said it is not a good choice for a B2C brand. But it has proven lucky for us.” – Says Rohit Aggarwal (Founder and CEO - Koenig Solutions)
Medical services in India are at par with the world and are a fraction of costs in Europe and USA. A number of our students have scheduled cosmetic, dental and ocular procedures during their stay in India. We can provide advice about this, on request.
