Even though data centers may be located around the world, there is an international system to certify each facility around several different but essential functions and factors.
The data centers Tier rating, as well as several other characteristics, are critical to review and consider whenever a business selects the right match for their computing needs.
A Tier lll Data Center
For most businesses, particularly those with a need for computing operations for both customer and business functions, the Tier lll data center is the ideal choice. These facilities offer less than 1.6 hours of downtime over an entire year, or a minimum of 99.982% uptime guarantee.
These centers have redundances for power, cooling, and connectivity that is typically listed as a full N+1. This means that if any critical component in the system fails, there is one additional component in place to continue with the operation of the facility. This is also important for maintenance services as the facility does not need to go fully offline for upgrades or repairs.
Staffing and Customer Service
To be classed as a Tier lll data center, the facility must have one full shift and one additional shift. This ensures issues are quickly resolved when they occur, and there is ongoing system maintenance.
In addition, be sure to consider the level of customer service provided. The top data centers are customer-focused, providing a range of services that are customized. They also provide support, troubleshooting, and a range of services that are designed for businesses of all sizes and across all industries.
