About the seminar

In the ever-evolving world of information technology, data centers are the cornerstone of many businesses and organizations. They are not just physical locations where data is stored and processed, but also complex systems that require a myriad of technologies, standards, and best practices.

The three-day seminar 'Data Center – General Principles' is specifically designed to provide newcomers and career changers with a comprehensive insight into the world of data centers. It not only imparts the essential terminologies but also the various trades that are employed in a data center. Special emphasis is placed on the European standard EN 50600, which covers all aspects of a data center. At the same time, an overview of the most important international norms and standards such as ISO/IEC 22237-X is provided.

Participants will be equipped to understand the structure and functioning of a data center, from power supply to air conditioning, fire protection, and cabling. In hands-on workshops and group activities, participants collaboratively develop planning approaches for various trades and learn how to assess the quality of data centers.

A special highlight of the seminar is the close connection of the DCE academy to the ISO/IEC 22237-X working group. As a sponsor of this working group, we can offer participants up-to-date information and developments about the standard. This ensures that the seminar content is always up-to-date and provides participants with a genuine competitive advantage in their professional career.
