Roderick Warren: Breaking Into Data Centers, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

The data center industry is expanding rapidly, but for people trying to enter it, the path is rarely obvious. Job titles can be confusing, technical requirements can feel intimidating, and many capable candidates never realize how much of their existing experience already translates into the world of data centers.

Drawing on more than two decades of experience across technology infrastructure, field engineering, and hyperscale data center operations, Roderick Warren provides a practical introduction to the industry and the careers behind the infrastructure powering cloud computing and artificial intelligence.

Breaking Into Data Centers - Volume 1 helps readers understand how modern data centers work, explore career paths across IT, networking, critical environments, electrical and mechanical systems, logistics, security, operations, and project management, and determine where their existing skills and experience may fit. Readers will develop practical technical literacy across servers, networking, power, cooling, redundancy, monitoring, troubleshooting, and incident response while learning about the education, skills, and certifications associated with different career paths.

This book is designed for career changers, IT professionals, skilled tradespeople, military veterans, field service professionals, logistics specialists, students, and anyone considering a career in data center infrastructure.

You do not need to begin as a data center expert. You need to understand the industry, recognize where your experience fits, and know what to learn next. UNDERSTAND THE INDUSTRY. FIND YOUR PATH. BUILD THE FOUNDATION.

This is Volume 1 of Breaking Into Data Centers, published in two volumes. Volume 2, Becoming Hireable, Getting the Job, and Building Your Career, continues from technical and career foundations into employability, applications, interviews, and long-term career development.
