He is highly versed and experienced in the data center's IT-centric areas of Virtualization, Networking, PC and Server repair/upgrades, Converged and Hyper-Converged Infrastructure, troubleshooting Windows Enterprise Software, VMWare ESXi, Hyper-V, Azure, Microsoft365 and MAC OS. He is currently focused on Data Center Infrastructure Management (DCIM) with a core focus on facility efficiency, inventory management, structured cabling, racking, and power distribution.

“We are pleased to welcome Jordan to the IDCA Technical Standards Committee,” said Chairman of the IDCA Technical Standards Committee, Rich Banta, DCA®. “He is IDCA certified and thoroughly experienced in every aspect of data center operations, with particular expertise that is broad and deep in the IT itself.
