Managing risk in today’s data center environments requires more than just following standard protocols – it demands a comprehensive understanding of what’s at stake and strategic preparation for potential disruptions.

EPI-USA’s Risk track addresses these critical needs through specialized certifications designed for data center professionals.

The track features two distinct certifications that tackle different aspects of risk management: the Certified Data Center Risk Professional (CDRP®) and Certified Data Center Migration Specialist (CDMS®).

The CDRP® certification provides professionals with deep insights into risk assessment and management, teaching them to quantify downtime costs accurately and identify which threats require immediate attention. This practical approach helps professionals make data-driven decisions rather than relying on assumptions.

CDMS® takes on what many consider one of the most challenging projects in data center operations – facility migration. This certification prepares professionals for the complex process of relocating an entire data center, addressing everything from initial assessment through final execution. The program draws from real-world experiences to help teams avoid common pitfalls that can derail migration projects.

Rather than focusing solely on theoretical frameworks, the courses incorporate learning experiences guided by instructors who bring extensive field experience.

This approach ensures that participants gain knowledge they can immediately apply to their daily operations.

For professionals responsible for data center operations, risk management, or upcoming migration projects, these certifications provide essential tools and methodologies.

Whether dealing with security upgrades, compliance requirements, or planning a major facility move, the Risk track equips participants with the expertise needed to handle these critical challenges effectively.
