Telecommunication Industry Association or TIA is a well known
ANSI-accredited organization that reviews and certifies the data centers worldwide. Their Certified Auditors & Consultants are the ones responsible for reviewing all documents to ensure compliance with ANSI/TIA-942, a quality standard they use for data centers. To get a certification, these are the data center components that go through rigorous review:
• Architecture,
• Mechnanical
• Electrical
• Telecommunications

What it means to get a rated 2 certification? Each rating in the ANSI/TIA-942 is intended to provide more resilience, security, and reliability in a data center. A Rated 2 certification means that the data center has a 99.741% uptime power and cooling redundancy to keep the data center environment optimal.

Rated 2 certification was achieved after MSI-ECS successfully complied the stringent standards and criteria for all aspects of the physical data center including site location, architecture, security, safety, fire suppression, electrical, mechanical, and telecommunication.

It should be noted that data center can have different tier ratings for different portion of its infrastructure such as architectural, security, mechanical, electrical, and telecommunication. The lowest tier rating that these infrastructural components received would be the basis for the overall rating.

With business expanding globally, the need for space and utilities has increased to unprecedented levels. Data Center managers are struggling to keep abreast with growing capacity needs while working under tightened budgets and energy efficieny initiatives. Over the years, colocation has been gaining popularity primarily because of its cost-effective and reliable way of managing IT resources.

There are a number of reasons why colocation will be better for your business, not to mention your stress levels, in the long run. MSI-ECS Data Center Managed Services offers business continuity, scalability, and performance a fraction of the cost that it would take to building your own. With colocation, you will have a complete control of your hardware and software without having to worry about maintaining the supporting systems like power, cooling, security, and networking.
