What is a Tier certification in a facility?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

One of the most important characteristics of a DPC (Data Processing Centers) is that they cannot suffer outages that could harm the servers they host in their facilities. For this reason, many Data Center<\/a> companies require TIER certifications to demonstrate the capabilities of their Data Processing Centers.<\/p>\n

The 4 Tier<\/strong> are a classification used in the DPC field to evaluate the availability and redundancy<\/strong> of the critical infrastructure systems. These levels provide a guideline for measuring the DPC reliability and resilience in the outages or failures event. This classification lists its facilities with a Tier certification between 1 and 4. Tier 1 is the lowest, that means the worst. The 4th<\/strong>, the highest<\/strong>, is the one that identifies the Data Centers that offer a maximum performance and reliability level.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

INPRO designs solutions for Data Centers (DPC\u00b4s)<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

Such facilities require design conditions with high<\/strong> security and redundancy level<\/strong> to offer the highest availability rate for uninterrupted backup power supply at diesel gensets<\/strong>, involving multiple diesel tanks, redundancy in paths and components, PLC control distributed but integrated to BMS, management of filtering systems and leak detection.<\/p>\n

INPRO, following the criteria of\u00a0 “The Uptime Institute<\/a>“, designs solutions<\/strong> for this type of infrastructures, as concurrently maintainable site<\/strong> based on the TIER certification.<\/p>\n
