Today we will walk you through the various roles in a data center. They are the
- Data Center Design Consultant
- Internal Auditor

Data Center Design Consultant
In a data center project a consultant is known as the data center
design consultant. The consultant is the expert who is asked for professional
advice by companies that are looking to conform to the requirements of the
ANSI/TIA-942 standard.
This consultant may be a technical designer, project manager, an
advisor or even an implementer. A
certified data center design consultant normally holds the title of Certified TIA-942 Design Consultant (CTDC).
In order to be a certified data center design consultant, data center professionals are required to go through a 3 day course.
CTDC is worldwide
accredited by EXIN. EXIN was created in 1984 to provide accreditation and
independent examination. EXIN has been
contributing towards the improvement of quality of the ICT area of expertise
and the development of the ICT Professional together with its partners and
contacts for 30 years.
In order for a data center project to complete successfully, a number
of experts have to come together. These are the consultants, the internal
auditors and the external auditors. Let’s find out more about these experts
below:
Internal Auditor
The role of an internal auditor is to ready an organization’s data center to confirm with the ANSI/TIA-942 standard. The internal auditor has to not only understand the complete audit cycle, but also to help the company to assess what are the major non conformities that it needs to fix. He will also ensure that all necessary documents and resources that are required for the external certification audit are prepared properly. A Certified Internal Auditor normally holds a Certified TIA-942 Internal Auditor (CTIA) certification.External Auditor
The External auditor understands the complete technical
requirements of the standard, the process of auditing and is also an expert in
seeking evidence to check for conformity. He is external to the organization
whose data center needs to be assessed for conformity to ANSI/TIA-942. In light
of the information found during audit, the external auditor will write a
non-conformity report as well as review the potential fixes to the
non-conformities
