The issues facing a data center project owner are evolving so rapidly
that even those who completed a data center project five years ago are
not aware of the current issues surrounding sophistication and
complexity (i.e. density, cost, continuous availability, and
Sustainability).
This interactive seminar and practical tutorial illustrates the
most successful approaches used to get a new data center project
approved and off to an optimal start with the “right” budget. As with
many once-in-a-career projects, the most serious pitfalls occur in the
very beginning before management knows enough to clearly define the
project’s life cycle objectives. As a result, many multimillion-dollar
data centers recently built, or currently in design or construction,
have insufficient capabilities to achieve a fifteen-year useful life.
In fact, most of these data centers will become functionally obsolete
within the next five years.
Members of the seminar faculty have conceptualized and managed
billions of dollars in major renovations and new data center or
critical facility projects and know how to define and justify a
project’s life cycle objectives. The first lesson learned from their
collective wisdom is to understand management’s expectations as well as
the needs of the business before the project’s schedule and budget are
set.
