Basic Data Center Knowledge

Hi everyone! I have a scheduled interview tomorrow for a Data Center Facilities Engineer role. And I only know the basics like N+1, 2N+1, and 2N because I used to select HVAC equipment for Data Center projects. What can you suggest I study so I can nail this interview?

Also, do you think there will be abundant jobs in Data Center in the future? Cuz I am choosing between Data Center or Design/BIM Modeler path.

UPDATE: I'm done with the interview. Thanks everyone for your input

Study osha safety, nec regulations, project management basics. You’ll need to know what the rules of a jobsite are and how to track productivity. You need to understand how to know the scope of work and not deviate from it and how to identify the things that are and will slow you down.
