DATA CENTER DESIGN & CERTIFICATIONS

We Engage with the client on very early stage to assess the requirement of the business in terms of value and cost/benefits of having a datacenter. Our study and recommendation include the latest technologies in datacenter solutions and options.

Our team of experts and certified designers provide the datacenter design based on the international standard ANSI/TIA-942. the design is validated and verified by the international datacenter authority EPI Singapore.

We provide detailed design for: Data center Architecture, Fire Systems, Cooling, Power, Telecom

We also provide Designs for: Network Active Components, Unified Communications, Servers & Storage, IPTV, CCTV & Access Control and many other low voltage solutions.

Many data center operator/owners have experienced situations whereby self-proclaimed ANSI/TIA-942 designers/consultants created designs which subsequently were implemented only to be found later to be non-conforming to the actual design requirements of the ANSI/TIA-942 standard.

In many of those cases it would be virtually impossible to correct the constructed data center either due to physical and time-to-market limitations or simply because of budgets not allowing for additional costs. Unfortunately, many project managers have fallen victim to this and ultimately they couldn’t deliver what was promised to the data center operator/owner.

Avoid these costly and devastating mistakes by using the Data Center Design Validation Service.  This service is aimed at conducting a thorough review of the design documents. Certified external auditors on the ANSI/TIA-942 standard will provide a nonconformity report indicating the concerns which need to be addressed to ensure that after the build, the data center would pass the ANSI/TIA-942 audit. Based on this nonconformity report the customer can improve the design and then submit the final design document package for a final review. If the documents are found to be fully conforming to the design requirements, a letter of conformity to the ANSI/TIA-942 standard will be issued.

Proof to your customers that you have the right availability and efficiency to see them your services. Data centers with conformity to the ANSI/TIA-942 standard will receive the prestigious ANSI/TIA-942 conformity certificate.

The data center facility audit is a thorough audit to verify that the facilities are meeting the conformity requirements of the ANSI/TIA-942 standard.

This has proven many times to be valuable for both new data centers as well as existing data centers where business managers want to understand the potential risks in the data center facilities infrastructure.

The audit will review all key critical areas such as site location, architecture/construction, electrical, mechanical, telecommunication, safety, fire detection and fire suppression, security and many others.

Data center audits on the ANSI/TIA-942 standard should be conducted by certified auditors who hold the CTEA (Certified TIA-942 External Auditor) status.

DCOS® is aimed at providing the data centre investor/owner/operator with a progressive approach to data centre operations management improvement.

The DCOS® audit will benchmark the data centre maintenance and operations based on the 11 disciplines as described in the EPI Data Centre Framework. The data centre organisation can choose to be audited for all of the 11 disciplines or a subset of 1 or multiple disciplines which the organisation deems to be the most critical to its business.

Each discipline chosen will be assessed for its maturity based on the widely adopted 5-level process maturity levels.

The audit report will provide the organisation with a clear view on its current operational maturity. This will enable the organisation to further improve its processes so that its valuable human capital can be maximised to create an efficient and effective data centre operations and maintenance team.

Upon achieving the DCOS® certification, the data centre will be listed on EPI’s website, providing proper levels of confidence to its customers, both internal and external, that appropriate levels of due diligence for risk management and operational efficiency have been taken showing good corporate governance.
