This advanced-level training program, designed by Global Horizon Training Center, explores the principles and cutting-edge strategies in designing and architecting high-performance, scalable, and sustainable data centers. As digital transformation and cloud computing reshape infrastructure needs, professionals responsible for data center design must be equipped with the latest technical standards, engineering innovations, and future-ready concepts.
This course focuses on end-to-end data center design, including site selection, power and cooling infrastructure, physical layout, redundancy levels, sustainability, modularity, and integration with cloud and edge systems. The program prepares engineers, architects, and senior facility designers to create data centers that meet current operational needs while anticipating future expansion and environmental demands.
By the end of this program, participants will be able to:
Apply industry best practices and standards in designing Tier I–IV data centers
Analyze site, environmental, and regulatory factors influencing design
Plan optimal power and cooling systems for energy-efficient performance
Design scalable and modular physical infrastructure
Integrate cloud, hybrid, and edge computing considerations into architecture
Address fault tolerance, high availability, and risk mitigation through design
Incorporate sustainability, green technologies, and compliance standards
Expert-led sessions with technical deep dives
Design case studies from global data centers
Technical drawing review and conceptual planning
Interactive modeling exercises and design simulations
Peer review of sample architectural frameworks
Use of relevant software/tools for data center planning
