Tier Certification 概述
今日,每家组织都依赖数字资源之间的复杂互联来维持业务运行和财政表现。Shareholders and stakeholders demand that their data center infrastructure investments are well defined and fully supported, as millions of dollars are at risk if the wrong choices are made.
Uptime Institute’s Tier Standards are the globally recognized standard for data center availability and overall performance. It allows for various performance levels that consider both the built environment, as well as the approach and performance of the operations team.
While Uptime Tier Standards define the topology and operational sustainability performance requirements for each Tier Classification, Tier Certification verifies the application of the Tier Standard to ensure the facility is designed, constructed and operated to those specifications.
Uptime developed Tier Certification over 30 years ago to measure how well a data center can meet the needs of an organization. Since then, these certifications have gained worldwide recognition and provide a mark of excellence unique to high-performing businesses. With organization-specific, component-level and performance-based evaluations, as well as extremely thorough and unbiased site visits, few programs can match the caliber of Uptime's certification.
With over 3400 awards issued in over 114 countries around the globe, Uptime Tier Certification is the industry standard for design, construction, and ongoing operations.

The Milestones of Tier Certification
Tier Certification of Design Documents
设计数据中心需要大量规划。企业必须明确服务器的位置、主电源和应急电源、网络路由、冷却设备、电缆管理和所需的安全措施。This process is an undertaking that most businesses cannot reliably perform in-house, creating worrisome financial risks for investors should any design mistakes slip past.Uptime's Tier Certification of Design Documents (TCDD) positions data center projects for success from the earliest stages by applying standardized goals and methodology. Uptime offers professional data center design certification to businesses looking to maximize the effectiveness of their facilities, while also ensuring the proposed design meets their intended Tier objective.
Tier Certification of Constructed Facility
Tier Certification of Constructed Facility (TCCF) ensures that your facility has been constructed as designed and verifies that it is capable of meeting the defined performance requirements. Common construction phase practices and value engineering proposals can inadvertantly compromise the design intent of a data center.由于任何数据中心项目都会涉及多个供应商、分包商,而且一般会涉及超过 50 个不同的学科(结构、电气、暖通空调 (HVAC)、水暖、燃料泵、网络等),因此不在建造过程中引入错误或意料之外的风险将是一项不同凡响的成就。Tier Certification of Constructed Facility 可让您确保自己的设备在构建时符合预期的性能、有效性和可靠性。
Tier Certification of Operational Sustainability
Uptime Tier Certification of Operational Sustainability (TCOS) provides Tier Certified data center owners, operators, and managers with an assessment of the prioritized behaviors and risks intrinsic to data center operations and serves as an essential guide for effective and efficient operations. This certification ensures your well designed and expertly constructed data center is operated in a manner which will result in the expected production levels.Owners and operators that earn the Tier Certification of Operational Sustainability have demonstrated their ability to plan for non-stop production to continue throughout all normal operating conditions.
