MTN Data Center achieves Tier III Certification

Toptech Engineering Limited, a leading Data Center Consultancy, has helped MTN Data Center, Ojota, achieve the Uptime Institute Tier III Certification for Design Documents.

Tiers is the global language of data center performance.
Uptime Institute created the standard Tier Classification System as a means to effectively evaluate data center infrastructure in terms of a business’ requirements for system availability. The Tier Classification System provides the data center industry with a consistent method to compare typically unique, customized facilities based on expected site infrastructure performance, or uptime. Furthermore, Tiers enables companies to align their data center infrastructure investment with business goals specific to growth and technology strategies.

The Data Center Site Infrastructure Tier Standard: Topology defines the requirements and benefits of four distinct Tier classifications for data center infrastructure. Each Tier aligns with a specific function in the business world and sets the appropriate criteria for power, cooling, maintenance, and capability to withstand a fault. Tiers is progressive; each Tier incorporates the requirements of all the lower Tiers. Additionally, Tiers has been demonstrated as a meaningful industry standard because Tiers allows a variety of solutions, allowing the flexibility to meet both the performance goals and comply with local statutes, codes, and regulations. Tiers encourages innovative engineering solutions and recognizes that all data centers are not alike and don’t need to be.

Tier III and Tier IV site infrastructure solutions also have an effective life beyond the current IT requirement and are typically utilized by organizations that know the cost of a disruption—in terms of actual dollars—and the impact to market share and continued mission imperatives.

With Tier III Certification, the MTN Data Center will help ensure resilience of customer infrastructure.
