The TSI.PROFESSIONAL data center training is designed to deepen the basic principles of design, construction and operation of data centers with a focus on the availability and physical security, using as a reference model our Trusted Site Infrastructure, (TSI) methodology, established in 2001. More than 2,000 evaluations and certification projects have been conducted in the data center landscape acc. to TSI worldwide.
The basis for the evaluation & certification projects is the criteria catalogue (TSI.STANDARD). The training attendees will receive this valuable tool as part of the training documentation. This criteria catalogue includes the requirement of European and international standards such as CEN/CENELEC EN 50600, and ISO/IEC 22237.
