OUR HAPPY CLIENTS
WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY ABOUT TELECONTRAN !!
It is a great honor to be part of this workshop where I learned a lot about Data centre specially on power management, data centre standards and maintenance.
This course covered most of the basis of Data Centre infrastructure, specially deigning and maintaining the data centre.
The instructor showed high level knowledge in all aspects of data centre and special thanks to him.
This workshop clarified on different types of data centre standards and tiers as well as the management of power, cooling, cabling and fire-fighting system in a data centre.
The training gave a very good understanding of Data Centre guidelines, cooling standards, power requirement for data centre in a very well organized manner.
