Data center operations teams are the backbone that keeps systems running smoothly, minimizing downtime that can disrupt businesses, online services, and critical infrastructure. So just how important is investing in strong data center operations training? According to the Uptime Institute, human error is estimated to play a role in up to 67-80% of all outages, with several outages last year costing firms more than $150 million. At Aligned Data Centers, operational excellence is at the core of what we do. Achieving that starts with hiring the right professionals with strong technical aptitudes and a passion for customer service. Hiring our own operations teams means we can directly supervise and train them in all aspects of data center maintenance and management, across all our facilities:  - Each member of our Operations Management Team has 10-15 years of data center experience, with an additional 5-7 years of critical environment experience for Critical Facilities Technicians. - Our in-house training program allows us to hone the skills of veterans from all service branches, electrical and mechanical tradespeople, and equipment-specific technicians. But it doesn't stop there. In addition to our own data center operations teams, we have AMMO, or the Aligned Maintenance, Management, and Operations audit, a centralized technical arm of operations that conducts recurring internal audits. These are done by a team of subject matter experts in security, technical, operational, and QA/QC. Their findings highlight areas for continuous improvement in operations, processes, maintenance practices, and training to ensure 100% uptime. AMMO is administered not only to drive significant improvements to daily critical operations, but also to enhance the customer experience. It's what drives our data center operations to exceed service level agreements (SLAs) with zero SLA violations. Investing in data center operations training is crucial, and Aligned is answering that call. Learn more about AMMO and our approach to operational excellence here: https://lnkd.in/gzJdN_kC

What could possibly be wrong with your data center? Well, during our time testing & commissioning more than 400 data centers worldwide, we have found tens of thousands of problems, big and small, for our clients. The problems come from all dimensions, including design, construction, equipment, and operations. It would cost the operations team nightmares if these problems are not found in advance since many of the problems are DIFFICULT and EXPENSIVE to fix once the data center is put into operations. As examples, here are some real-world problems our team has found in the past, which are only the tip of the iceberg: Problem 1: Precision air conditioner power distribution issue (design problem) A modular server room used N+1 precision air conditioners for cooling, and in the precision air conditioner power distribution route, multiple precision air conditioners shared a dual power automatic transfer switch (ATS), and the ATS was not set up with a maintenance bypass. If the ATS switch fails and needs to be repaired, it will affect the normal operation of multiple precision air conditioners, resulting in abnormal cooling for the entire room. Problem 2: Cable and zero sequence current transformer installation issue (construction problem) A metal clad cable was grounded after passing through the zero sequence current transformer. This incorrect wiring might lead to inaccurate measurement of zero sequence current. When the system is in normal operation, it could be misjudged that a ground fault occurs, which may cause the protective device to operate incorrectly, resulting in unnecessary power outages. Problem 3: Condensation after UPS shutdown (operations problem) During the rainy season, after a daytime test, the construction workers disconnected and shut down the UPS and precision air conditioners in the power distribution room without informing the data center owner and our testing team. The next morning, when the UPS was turned on, there was a short-circuit "fried" situation. After investigation, the testing team confirmed that after the UPS was shut down, due to the influence of weather and difference in temperature, the internal copper rows became dewy, which led to a short circuit. #datacenter #testing #commissioning
