Vijfhart: Factors 'people' and 'knowledge' are essential in data centers

A data center can be equipped with the best and most innovative solutions, but when employees lack basic and substantive knowledge, the chance of errors is high. When optimizing IT and required resources, it is therefore very important that the factor ' human' and his/her knowledge is not forgotten.

Reasons to train and certify employees

The costs of downtime in a data center are generally enormous. The influence of the 'people' factor on (the prevention of) downtime is great. It is therefore very important that people working in and around the data center are well trained, know what they are talking about and lastly speak the same 'language' with each other. These things significantly reduce margins of error. Fortunately, employees and suppliers in many data centers are already fully trained and certified. The underlying reasons include:

The importance of vendor independent training

Vijfhart's data center training courses are distinguished by being vendor independent. No biased story, but only substantive information about all important components within the data center. Our training courses are provided by professionals. In addition to providing training, they are involved in setting up data centers and conducting audits at data centers all over the world.

During our data center training we regularly receive the following comment: “I've been in the business for 20 years, what are you going to tell me that I don't know yet?“It's nice to see that these people also discover during the training that there are other ways to tackle certain matters. Our trainers also provide a lot of background information. This often helps students understand better why certain things are set up differently in other data centers than in their own data center. Afterwards we are often told: “Gosh, I thought I already knew everything, but I still picked up a few fun and new points”. The training can be an eye-opener for even the most experienced people.

Vendor independent data center training makes the difference!

Due to technical progress, it is important that employees continue to develop. A good human resource policy provides training and education for employees. By following a vendor-independent data center training course and successfully completing the associated exam, employees obtain an internationally recognized certification. The data center thus demonstrates that it invests in its employees with the aim of:

• Offer employees the opportunity to further develop themselves and take individual knowledge to a higher level
• Enabling all employees within the data center to speak the same 'language'
• To offer employees the opportunity to have all their practical questions answered
• Informing employees about the latest (technical) insights in the field of data centers
• To offer employees the opportunity to exchange experiences with competitive colleagues
• Distinctiveness compared to other data centers
