The area’s leading power quality experts offer an informational seminar on electrical safety for commercial & industrial businesses.
When it comes to electrical safety, facility managers and building owners need to understand what to do, but even more importantly, what “not” to do. OSHA, NFPA and NEC have all recently made changes, with more changes to come. NFPA 70E outlines some of these changes with new requirements for arc flash and arc blast safety. This seminar presents past policies and practices, the current standards, and possible future changes.
The proper data center environment is extremely important for the IT system and supporting equipment. Some enterprise Data Centers believe they could “never” go down, only to find out later that what they “thought” was a redundant system, had a weak point. This Data Center Management seminar will review your risk profile as well as focus on maintenance and other preventative solutions such as monitoring power, security, and environmental equipment.
The search for the most reliable and efficient power and cooling infrastructure has become even more critical in the present environment. IT managers, facility managers and CIOs feel increasing pressure to achieve zero downtime, to scale the data center and to meet ever changing requirements and to reduce energy costs. This seminar will address these concerns and more!
There are many steps you can take to make your data center more responsive to your cooling needs. This seminar will discuss a basic and complex cooling practices in today’s data center environment. Learn how to get more from your current cooling system and how to design an efficient cooling system for the future.
