Nine steps that managers need to consider to ensure data centers are properly cared for, especially in a culture that promotes transparency and safety.
Prevent Human Errors in the Data Center
A detailed change management policy is the best way to proactively prevent human errors in the data center. The policy will dictate that any work that may result in a change-of-state must go through a detailed approval process. As part of the change management policy, a detailed method of procedure (MOP) must be completed with precise instructions that the staff will need to follow to perform maintenance or other functions that may affect the data center. This detailed document with step-by-step instructions on procedures will need to go through an extensive internal approval to ensure that the instructions are accurate and in compliance with data center policies.
