IT Services
The Nigeria branch in Lagos has 150
sta. To date, this oice has delivered
projects including data centres, wireless
networks and cabling infrastructures to
clients in the financial services, academic,
telecommunications, SMB and oil and gas
sectors. One of its main jobs is to assist with
data centre design and operation and the
BCX team are called in by many companies
who need help.
“Most of our clients previously had their data
centres designed and implemented by non-
professionals and this was aecting system
availability, performance and security. That is
why it called in BCX to help it redesign and
implement new environments,” says Kelvin
Oghafua, senior enterprise design architect
with BCX Nigeria.
To ensure that it could provide the best
service, BCX Nigeria needed training in the
recommended standards for data centre
design and it turned to Hewlett Packard
Enterprise for the answer.
Solution
Understanding the requirements
To obtain the necessary knowledge and
skills, BCX employees have attended HPE
Education Services’ Certified Data Center
Professional® and Certified Data Center
Specialist® training courses.
The two-day professional course exposes
trainees to the key components of the
data centre, addressing how to set up and
improve eiciency. Instruction covers key
aspects of the high-availability data centre
such as power, cooling, security, cabling and
safety. The training also addresses the main
operational and maintenance aspects of a
mission critical data centre. Participants can
tap into the trainer’s extensive experience
to discuss specific needs and issues in
their own environments, assisting them in
solving practical problems. Objectives are
to enable trainees to choose the optimum
size for mission critical data centres based
on current and future needs; describe all the
components needed for a high-availability
data centre and name and apply various
industry standards and technologies.
The three-day specialist course focuses
on the knowledge needed to review and
improve existing data centre facilities and
to decide on the correct implementation of
those facilities.
It empowers customers to deal with
suppliers and to be able to verify oers
from vendors for suitability, eectiveness
and eiciency.
