6 Data Centre Operations Management LESSON PLAN Leaning Outcomes Understand the importance of energy efficiency in data centres, how to measure it and how to improve it. Understand the basic of capacity management in a data centre and make simple calculations Understand how poor layout and procedures lead to serious business continuity issues in a data centre Understand the basics of successful data centre operational management including the documentation which should be in place and the policies and procedures to operate. Assessment criteria Demonstrate through exercise an ability to calculate DCiE and PUE and identify how these efficiency figures can be improved upon. Calculate some examples of power and cooling capacity and identify adequacy. Analyse some examples of bad practice and identify how improvements can be made to reduce risk and increase energy efficiency. Obtain a mark of at least 60% in the multiple choice test of 40 questions DAY 4 Introduction SAVING ENERGY Understanding the green agenda and metrics Building Management Systems and monitoring Improving rack and floor layout Improving Power Efficiency Understanding the power flow Capacity Management Introduction to the subject Why do data centres fail?
