Where the cabinets and racks are on an access floor, they shall be placed so that there are movable tiles in front and behind each cabinet and rack. This typically means placing the rows of cabinets and racks parallel (rather than at an angle) to the rows of ...

There is no one thermal management configuration that works best in every instance. Each may be optimal, depending on different factors unique to the customer, application, and environment. Consideration  should  be  given  to  understanding  the  upfront  in...

In general Tier 3 and Tier-4 datacenter will have redundancy to provide the business continuity with high availability to continue their function under unplanned or adverse conditions that would otherwise interrupt the data center’s telecommunications service....

Single point of failure should be eliminated to improve redundancy and reliability, both within the data center and support infrastructure as well as in the external services and utility supplies. This Standard includes four tiers relating to various level of...

System meets base requirements and has no redundancy. N+1 redundancyN+1 redundancy provides one additional unit, module, path, or system in addition to the minimum required to satisfy the base requirement. The failure or maintenance of any single unit, module,...

The facilities should be capable of being maintained, upgraded, and tested without interruption of operations.

Data centers and support infrastructure should be designed to accommodate future growth with little or no disruption to services.

Data centers should be (where practical) used solely for the purposes for which they were intended and should be isolated from non-essential operations.

Tier I Data Center: Basic A Tier I data center is susceptible to disruptions from both planned and unplanned activity. If it has UPS or generators, they are single-module systems and have many single points of failure. The infrastructure should be completely...
