The four tier system classifies data center infrastructure designs. The classification system is an industry-wide standard and defines the industry benchmark.
A Tier III data center has the following characteristics:
- Multiple active power and cooling distribution paths–as opposed to single path design found in Tier I and Tier II data centers
- Redundant components
- Concurrently maintainable, providing 99.982% availability
Our Tier III+ our facility features additional redundancy and guarantees 99.999% uptime reliability.
