Course Overview
Technical debt in data centre backup power is borrowed against future delivery capacity, at compound interest. Most outages involving backup power are triggered by a change somebody considered routine. A common pattern is strong design of the technology and systems delivery capability paired with weak follow-through. Participants develop a defensible line of reasoning for the choices they make about data centre backup power. Exercises escalate in difficulty, ending with the ambiguous situations that make this area of technology and systems delivery hard in practice. Benchmarking exercises repeatedly place backup power among the areas with the widest performance spread. This programme builds data centre backup power from first principles, without padding and without omitting what matters. The level assumes working familiarity with the technical platform but no prior formal training in backup power. The programme closes with an action plan for the practice within technology and systems delivery that each participant writes for their own organisation.
