Is there any certifications that an individual can take up for datacenter design and maintenance. Pls provide details, if any..

English and grammar classes, lots of math classes and probably some classes directed at architecture would be a bouns.

You can get a Suntone certified datacenter

Sniped off the website: "Services certified under the SunTone Service Excellence cover nearly every aspect of an outsourced network service delivery model. In addition to Service Providers who can offer a full range of solutions from basic co-location through fully-managed services, the SunTone Service Excellence also certifies software applications designed specifically to run in the services-on-demand model, as well as integrator services to assist you in designing, building and maintaining world-class IT services.

Interxion Ireland & the Interxion group seems to have them.

Hi all,

Found that there are individual certications provided by IDCP which is Certified Data Center Professional/Expert.

Pls check out http://www.idcp.org/certifications.htm

Jobs in a data center are little different from other NOC jobs. Spending money on a certification that's specifically relevant to a datacenter is, in my opinion, a waste of money. If you're looking to work on tech support, an A+, NET+, MCSE, CCNA, would be helpful. If you're looking to work on facilities engineering, an electrical engineering degree or electrician's license would be helpful.
