Project Management for Data Centre and IT Infrastructure Builds

Data centre and infrastructure builds sit at the meeting point of construction, power, cooling and technology, where a single missed dependency can delay go live for months. This course covers planning and delivering data centre and IT infrastructure projects from design through commissioning. It is grounded in the rapid growth of connectivity and cloud infrastructure across African markets.

What you will be able to do

  • Translate capacity and resilience needs into an infrastructure project scope.
  • Coordinate civil works, power, cooling and network as one integrated build.
  • Manage the dependencies between facility readiness and IT installation.
  • Plan testing and commissioning of critical infrastructure systems.
  • Manage vendors, equipment lead times and site access.
  • Deliver a controlled go live and handover to operations.
