Studies indicate that human error accounts for a staggering 70-85% of data center downtime.

This alarming statistic should be a cause for concern for any business relying on data centers, and which business isn’t in today’s world?

Yet, it is surprising that many businesses seem unconcerned about this issue.

When speaking to data center managers globally, a common line emerges: "Our data center has no issues; we have all the processes and procedures in place." However, if that were true, why do numerous data centers still experience downtime caused by human error? How is this possible when more and more data centers are being certified for ISO, SOC2, HIPAA, and other standards?

The truth is that conventional approaches to data center management are not sufficient. And NO, implementing AI solutions and automation will not solve the issue when the underlying challenges are not addressed.

Join us in this webinar as we delve into the true causes of downtime incidents caused by human errors. We will unveil the unique Quality Management Framework/System for Data Center Operations (DCOS).
