Standards and Best Practices

Control of the suitable environment in a Data center:
Exists very precise especifications on which it is the suitable environment of a Data Center, this is, the place in where a Data Processing equipment will be able to work developing its maximum to achieve the so called “Processing Power”.

We talk about electromagnetic interference, temperature and relative humidity, the electrical and mechanical resistance of the rised floor, the cleaning of the air, and so on. Many other points to take care of. In this Congress we count with the support of several specialist in these subjects that will deal with them in a precisely and professionaly way.

Air Conditioning
The new technologies of processors grouped in the named “farms” presents a new problem to us to prepare the environment as a consecuense of the great heat dissipation in reduced spaces (Thermal Density). How this problem is solved with the new air conditioned equipment for Data Centers? What is expected in the next future .

These and another similar problems for the conditioning of the environment of a Data Center, will be treated in the Congress.

Electrical Power:
The new generation of Data Processing equipment is developed to achieve greater speed and grater capacity of data storage, has given as a result that this equipment requires more sophisticated electrical power, that is to say, free from electrical noise, without transitory, with regulated voltage and without interruptions of any type, which means that they require high quality energy.

In the Congress it will be included the analysis of all these parameters and the way to maintain them under control, for which we will count with the participation of the most prominent and recognized manufacturers in the industry.

Data Center Administration
Let us imagine to have the Ideal Data Center, with all its facilities according to Standard ICREA-Std-131-2007 and in the proper level (tier) adapted for the particular activity of each company, of such form that the administration of this Ideal Data Center is the suitable one.

How to obtain it.
Do we have a analysis of risk?
Do we have a plan of recovery in cases of disaster (DRP)?
Do you have a team of certified (CCRE) service providers?
Do I must certify my Data Center?
What advantages I will have certifying it?
What level I must look for?
How I am in reference with my competition?


These and many other answers will be treated in this Congress.

DAta Center Security:
We know that the DAta Center of any company or governmental dependency, throughout the world, is “its brain”, the way in which it is protected will be the way in which this company or dependency will be able to make its function.

There are many forms to imagine who to damage the Data Center or the information handled by it, but also exist many forms to try to avoid these damages, same that can not necessarily be caused by someone, they can be derived from accidents, human faults or even faults in the equipment.

What's new in protection of Computer centers?
What is most important that it is due to protect?
How do I balance the costs implied in the protection with costs benefits of the obtained security?

Attending the Congress we will be able to know whta are the best practices in the security matter.

Standards:
The differences and tendency normative will be exposed towards the Infrastructure Technologies of the Information, of such form, that to achieve the best practices and recommendations to all the dedicated community to construct DAta Centers, as well as for which they are dedicated to design, construction and On-Going of this type of facilities. Different topics related in standards such as NFPA, UL will comment, ISO, EIA/TIA, ICREA and NOM. And some recommendations like those of IEEE and ITIL among others.
