Introduction:

Data centres represent critical infrastructure that supports digital operations, information processing, and service continuity within modern organizations. They integrate power systems, cooling technologies, network connectivity, and physical infrastructure to ensure high availability and reliability. This training program presents data centre frameworks, infrastructure models, and operational structures aligned with industry-recognized practices. It provides an institutional perspective on how data centres are designed, managed, and optimized to support performance, resilience, and scalability.
