The EPI CDCP – Certified Data Center Professional is a 2 day course designed to expose participants to the key components of the data centre. CDCP will address how to setup and improve
key aspects such as power, cooling, security, cabling, safety, fire suppression etc. to ensure a hi-available data centre. It will also address key operations and maintenance aspects.
CDCP Certifcation Benefits
After completion of the CDCP Training course you will be able to:
Choose an optimum site for mission-critical data centre based on current and future needs
Describe all components that are important for highavailability in a data centre and how to effectively setup the data centre
Name and apply the various industry standards
Describe the various technologies for UPS, fire suppression, cooling, monitoring systems, cabling standards, etc, and to select and apply them effectively to cost-efficiently enhance the high-availability of the data centre.
Review the electrical distribution system to avoid costly downtime
Enhance cooling capabilities and efficiency in the data centre by using existing and new techniques and technologies for the increased cooling requirements of the future
Design a highly reliable and scalable network architecture and learn how to ensure installers apply proper testing techniques
Describe (high-level) data centre operational considerations supporting mission-critical environments
Setup effective data centre monitoring ensuring the right people get the right message
Ensure proper security measures, both procedural and technical, are established to safeguard your company’s valuable information in the data center.
What does it take to get certified?
In order to obtain CDCP Certificate, you need to pass the official Exam.
CDCP Exam
Attendees will take a 1 hour Certified Data Centre Professional exam – CDCP The exam is 40 questions, closed book and multiple choice based.
The passing mark is 27 out of 40.
Attendees passing the exam will be awarded the internationally accredited and recognized ‘Certified Data Centre Professional’ certificate (CDCP).
The CDCP certificate is valid for 3 years, after which recertification is required.
Course pre-requisites
There is no specific prerequisite for the CDCP course. However, participants who already have at least one or two year’s experience in a data centre or facilities environment may be best suited. Those with no experience just yet are most welcome to participate.
