Capitoline announces world's first data center cleaning certification with new on-line training course
After fourteen years of auditing data centres, Capitoline consultants have become acutely aware that data center cleaning is usually poorly done or even overlooked altogether. This is despite data center standards calling for high levels of cleanliness such as ISO14644-1 level 8.
To achieve such levels of cleanliness, air coming into the data center must be correctly filtered but weekly, monthly and annual 'deep cleaning' is still required.
Dirt, dust and debris contamination causes failures through many causes but the main one is overheating of electronic components due to electrostatically charged dust sticking to them and thermally insulating them. In these cases it doesn't matter how much cold air is available from the data center's air conditioning system; it just won't reach the vital components within the servers.
The training course from Capitoline, which is web-based with comprehensive notes and an English language voice-over also has a unique 'ask the instructor' facility whereby students can put up an 'electronic hand' and ask an experienced data center auditor any questions they want.
The course covers the theoretical aspects of what the standards require, levels of air filtration expected and the practical details of how to address data centre routine and emergency cleans such as after spills and building works.
