Aims of this module

• The purpose of Data Centre Infrastructure is to provide

• Data center infrastructure/design requires a multi-
disciplinary solution, therefore this module is not
intended to give students the ability to individually
manage, control or optimize all aspects of a data center
design or build but to provide them with the skills to work
with assistance from experts in other disciplines to
deliver an overall design and efficiency strategy
