Standardization in the Data Center

Standardization is a powerful concept that has established itself as a critical ally in managing process. In recent decades, the long-standing idea of standardization has gained new stature in many different industries as a creative and compelling strategic enterprise philosophy. Similar success can be achieved by applying standardization to the design, deployment, and operation of Network-Critical Physical Infrastructure (NCPI). Together, we will discover that there is indeed a catalyst for moving towards implementing a process of standardization in the data center: Data center managers’ desire to eliminate the significant business cost of unnecessary downtime, lost opportunity, and expense caused by human error, lack of agility, and data center oversizing. This course will discuss how implementing a plan to standardize the data center will help to increase efficiency levels, reduce downtime, support better business agility, and lower costs.
