Completed from United Kingdom
I found the course surprisingly practical. The modules on liquid‑cooling loops and free‑cooling strategies helped me understand how to optimise airflow without overspending on hardware. The hands‑on labs using the CoolSim tool let me experiment with different rack layouts, and I could immediately see the impact on PUE. The material was well‑structured, though I would have liked a few more video tutorials. Still, the knowledge I gained has already been useful in my role at a UK data‑centre, especially when we needed to design a new hot‑aisle containment system.
The advanced master’s certificate in data‑center cooling was exactly what I needed to bridge the gap between theory and real‑world projects. The curriculum covered heat‑load calculations, CFD simulation, and the selection of CRAC/CRAH units in a clear, step‑by‑step manner. I was able to apply the design guidelines straight away to a retrofit project at my company, reducing energy consumption by 12 %. The lecture slides and the case‑study library were top‑notch, and the instructor’s feedback on my design report was very thorough. Overall, the course exceeded my learning goals and gave me confidence to lead future cooling‑system projects.
すごく楽しかったです！このコースは、データセンターの冷却設計に関する最新技術を徹底的に学べました。特に、サーバーラックの熱分布を解析するCFDシミュレーションの実習は、実務で即活かせるスキルです。実際に、社内の新しいデータセンターでエネルギー効率を8％向上させる提案を行うことができました。教材は日本語とロシア語の両方で提供され、専門用語の解説も丁寧でした。熱意あふれる講師と充実したサポートに感謝しています。
The program delivered a detailed look at both traditional and emerging cooling technologies. I especially appreciated the deep dive into liquid‑to‑air heat exchangers and the energy‑recovery modules, which are highly relevant for the hot climate in South Africa. The course’s PDF handbook contained exhaustive tables for refrigerant selection, and the weekly webinars allowed us to discuss real case studies from Africa’s growing data‑centre market. While the pacing was intense, the comprehensive assessments ensured I could apply the concepts, such as designing a chilled‑water plant that reduced our client’s operational costs by roughly 10 %.
