What should be a consideration when having casters (rollers/wheels) or feet under the rack?
The casters and feet under the rack are used to support the weight of the rack and its equipment, and to allow the rack to be moved if needed. However, the casters and feet should also be designed to avoid putting too much pressure on the floor tile, especially if the data centre uses a raised floor system. A too heavy point load on the floor tile can cause the tile to crack, deform, or collapse, which can damage the rack, the equipment, and the underlying infrastructure. To prevent this, the casters and feet should be larger, so that they can distribute the weight over a larger area and reduce the point load. The casters and feet should also be compatible with the floor type and the load rating of the floor tile.

Which one of the following is a factor that can affect Availability and Reliability?
Availability and reliability are two important aspects of data centre performance that measure how often the system is operational and how dependable it is. According to the EPI Data Centre Framework, availability is the percentage of time that a system or component is in an operable state, while reliability is the probability that a system or component will perform its required function under given conditions for a specified period of time. Both availability and reliability can be affected by various factors, such as design, maintenance, human error, power supply, security, etc. One of the factors that can have a significant impact on both availability and reliability is cooling. Cooling is essential for maintaining the optimal temperature and humidity levels for the IT equipment and preventing overheating, which can cause failures, downtime, and reduced lifespan. Inadequate cooling can result from insufficient capacity, poor airflow management, faulty components, or environmental conditions. Inadequate cooling can reduce the availability and reliability of the data centre by increasing the risk of thermal stress, hot spots, performance degradation, and equipment damage. Therefore, cooling is a critical factor that can affect availability and reliability in a data centre.

is the degree to which a system or component is operational and accessibility when required for use.
Availability is the degree to which a system, product or component is operational and accessible when required for use. It is one of the attributes of reliability, which is the ability of a system or component to perform its required functions under stated conditions for a specified period of time. Availability can be calculated as the ratio of the expected value of the uptime (the time when the system is functional) to the total time (uptime plus downtime) of a system or component. Availability can also be influenced by factors such as maintainability, fault tolerance, redundancy, diagnostics, and logistics.
Which one of the following is a core objective of a Business Value in an organization?
According to the EPI Data Centre Professional (CDCP) Reference Materials, a core objective of a Business Value in an organization is to create value for customers and stakeholders1. This means delivering products or services that meet or exceed customer expectations, while also generating profits or benefits for the organization and its shareholders. Reducing costs, reducing the deficit, and increasing sales are possible ways to achieve this objective, but they are not the core objective itself.
Which one of the following is used in Measuring Business Value?
Measuring business value is the process of assessing the benefits and costs of IT investments and initiatives in relation to the strategic objectives and priorities of the organization. One of the factors that can be used to measure business value is scalability, which is the ability of a system or component to handle increasing workloads or demands without compromising performance, quality, or functionality. Scalability is important for business value because it enables the organization to adapt to changing market conditions, customer expectations, and growth opportunities. Scalability can also reduce operational costs, increase efficiency, and improve customer satisfaction. Therefore, scalability is one of the factors that can be used in measuring business value.
