Course Overview

Technical debt in high-efficiency data centre design is borrowed against future delivery capacity, at compound interest. The documentation for centre design is accurate only until the next release. It suits anyone whose decisions touch the technology and systems delivery discipline, in large organisations and small ones alike. The version of high-efficiency data centre design described in the manual and the version practised on the floor tend to diverge over time. It concentrates on the parts of this strand of technology and systems delivery that determine outcomes and treats the rest proportionately. The course leaves participants able to diagnose weaknesses in centre design before they become incidents. Cases are chosen to expose the trade-offs in high-efficiency data centre design rather than to illustrate ideal conditions. Where centre design is measured, it improves; where it is only discussed, it drifts. Participants finish with a short, specific brief on this aspect of technology and systems delivery ready to put in front of a decision maker.

Expected Learning Outcomes

01

Secure the software supply chain and dependencies within high-efficiency data centre design.

02

Select indicators that show whether centre design is improving, and reject those that only look useful.

03

Set a realistic target state for high-efficiency data centre design and a defensible route to it.

04

Control technical debt in centre design deliberately rather than by neglect.

05

Design backup and recovery for high-efficiency data centre design and prove it by restoring.

06

Plan the migration or decommissioning of legacy components in centre design.

07

Identify the failure points in high-efficiency data centre design most likely to cause loss, and control them first.

Course Modules

01

High-efficiency data centre design: documentation, support and handover

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1What to measure in high-efficiency data centre design and what to ignore

  • Plan the decommissioning of the legacy component high-efficiency data centre design replaces.
  • Test the procedure for centre design against a realistic scenario.
  • Restore a backup of high-efficiency data centre design in a test environment and time it.
  • Agree what will be standardised in centre design and what will not.

Session 2Proving the backup of centre design by restoring it

  • Confirm data retention and deletion rules applied within high-efficiency data centre design.
  • Build the competence framework that supports centre design.
  • Run a load test on high-efficiency data centre design at expected peak plus a margin.
  • Record the technical debt in centre design and schedule repayment.
02

Centre design: capacity, performance and load

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1The change to centre design that caused the last outage

  • Record the rationale for each significant choice made about high-efficiency data centre design.
  • Measure current load on centre design and project it forward twelve months.
  • Identify the single points of failure in high-efficiency data centre design.
  • Identify single points of dependency in centre design and reduce them.

Session 2Running an incident on centre design calmly

  • Test the failover for high-efficiency data centre design rather than assuming it works.
  • Confirm the support model and escalation path for centre design.
  • Review logging on high-efficiency data centre design for coverage and retention.
  • Review access rights on centre design and remove what is no longer needed.
03

Centre design: monitoring, alerting and observability

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1Dependencies and supply chain risk in centre design

  • Document the runbook for high-efficiency data centre design to the level a new engineer could use.
  • Record what was learned when centre design did not go as planned.
  • Distinguish symptoms from causes when high-efficiency data centre design underperforms.
  • Establish the boundary of centre design and record what sits outside it.

Session 2The paperwork for high-efficiency data centre design that is actually needed

  • Set delivery and reliability indicators for high-efficiency data centre design the team trusts.
  • Confirm that those complying with centre design understand why it exists.
  • Set out the decisions in high-efficiency data centre design that require sign-off and by whom.
  • Confirm every release of centre design can be rolled back within a defined time.
04

Centre design: build, pipeline and release discipline

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1Sizing capacity for centre design on measured growth

  • State the availability and recovery objectives for high-efficiency data centre design as numbers.
  • Identify the data already collected that bears on centre design.
  • Estimate the resource high-efficiency data centre design requires to run as designed.
  • Establish what evidence demonstrates centre design is under control.

Session 2Testing centre design before relying on it

  • Set out how exceptions to high-efficiency data centre design are requested and approved.
  • Remove steps in centre design that add effort without adding assurance.
  • Define incident severity levels for high-efficiency data centre design and the response each triggers.
  • Compare the cost of centre design with the cost of its absence.
