David Cuthbertson of Square Mile Systems presented a thought provoking presentation on how to implement best practise management procedures within your Data Centre.

He then goes on to show, that currently there is no recognised framework or training for Data Centre Managers and that instead Data Centres Managers have to rely on Trade Associations such as AFCOM, The Data Centre Specialist Group and The Uptime Institute.

He then goes on to explain how the new TIA 942 framework can help give structure and guidance to Data Centre Managers.

For those who could not attend this presentation given at the BICSI Conference, held in Citywest, Dublin, Ireland, 2007 the presentation documentation can be downloaded.
