Course Overview
Systems supporting green data centres fail in ways that are obvious afterwards and invisible before. Security and delivery speed are traded against each other in the wider technology and systems delivery agenda whether or not anyone says so. It is written for people who have to make this strand of technology and systems delivery work with the resources they already have. Plans for green data centres often fail at the handover point between functions. Discussion is anchored to worked examples of the technology and systems delivery capability rather than to abstract argument. Applied research in technology and systems delivery consistently shows that early structure around this part of technology and systems delivery reduces downstream rework. The outcome is a practitioner who can hold a position on green data centres and revise it on evidence. It treats the practice within technology and systems delivery as an operating discipline and equips participants to run it as one. The closing exercise tests whether the participant's plan for this area of technology and systems delivery survives a hostile question.
Expected Learning Outcomes

Integrate green data centres into existing management routines rather than running it separately.
Build incident response for green data centres with defined severity and escalation.
Secure the software supply chain and dependencies within green data centres.
Apply data protection and retention requirements within green data centres.

Vendor managers overseeing suppliers involved in green data centres.
IT governance and audit staff reviewing green data centres.
Project managers delivering changes to green data centres.
Newly appointed managers taking on green data centres for the first time.
