新加坡，2018年5月17日 - EPI今天發布了為數據中心所有者/運營商提供的全新服務，將其
。 Uptime Institute層級拓撲指南僅針對數據中心的電氣和機械基礎設施，這是眾所周知的。儘管至關重要，但數據中心所有者/運營商已經了解到，Uptime Institute的層級指南缺少當今業務關鍵環境的一些基本要素。 TIA-942是一個真正完整的數據中心標準，因為它還涉及站點位置，建築方面，物理安全，防火安全，電信等等。 據EPI集團公司董事長兼首席執行官Edward van Leent稱：“TIA-942符合性認證的優勢遠遠超過了Uptime Institute Tier拓撲認證的優勢。不幸的是，市場還沒有完全意識到許多事實，例如Uptime Institute Tier Topology實際上不是官方標準，而是商業組織提供的指南，而TIA-942是一個真正的由非營利標准開發組織根據ANSI認證的組織。這為任何數據中心所有者/運營商帶來了非常重要的透明度。此外，TIA-942涵蓋了當今關鍵任務數據中心的所有重要組成部分，因此越來越多的客戶正在挑戰其Uptime Institute Tier認證數據中心運營商，以了解為什麼他們只有認證其電源和冷卻基礎設施，而忽略了關鍵要素，如安全性，網絡等。市場也經常被告知TIA-942不可認證，這是不正確的。 EPI被納入CB認證機構，因此有資格根據TIA-942標準對數據中心進行認證。我們相信，升級計劃將使數據中心能夠最終確保所有重要領域都成為其風險管理戰略的一部分，證明他們的客戶最關心自己的利益。“ EPI將提供3種類型的升級包。具有正常運行時間協會設計證書的人可以選擇升級到TIA-942設計證書或TIA-942設施證書。具有正常運行時間學院建設設施證書的人可升級為TIA-942人工設施。 定價取決於數據中心的規模和目標評級水平，但與Uptime Institute的層級拓撲認證相比，成本往往不及成本的一小部分。 欲了解更多信息，請發送郵件至sales@epi-ap.com。
https://www.epi-ap.com/content/19/414/EPI_Launches_Brand-New_Service_for_Upgrading_Uptime_Institute_Tier_Certification_to_TIA-942_CertificationSingapore, 17 May 2018 – EPI today released its brand-new service for data centre owners/operators to upgrade their Uptime Institute Tier Certification to TIA-942 Certification. It is common knowledge that the Uptime Institute Tier Topology guidelines only address the electrical and mechanical infrastructure of a data centre. Although critical, data centre owners/operators have come to learn that the Uptime Institute’s Tier guidelines are missing some fundamental elements for today’s business critical environments. TIA-942 is a truly complete data centre standard as it also addresses site location, architectural aspects, physical security, fire safety, telecommunications, to name a few. According to Edward van Leent, Chairman & CEO of EPI Group of Companies, “The advantages of TIA-942 Conformity Certification far outweighs those of Uptime Institute Tier Topology Certification. Unfortunately, the market is still not fully aware of many facts such as that the Uptime Institute Tier Topology is actually not an official standard but a guideline provided by a commercial organisation whereas TIA-942 is a true Standard developed by a non-profit Standards Development Organisation accredited under ANSI. This brings great transparency which is important for any data centre owner/operator. Furthermore, TIA-942 covers all important elements of today’s mission critical data centres so more and more customers are challenging their Uptime Institute Tier certified data centre operators on why they only have certified their power and cooling infrastructure and left out key elements such as security, network etc. The market has also often been ill informed that TIA-942 is not certifiable which is incorrect. EPI is incorporated as a CB – Certification Body and is therefore qualified to certify data centres to the TIA-942 standard. We believe that this Upgrade program will enable data centres to finally ensure that all important areas are part of their risk management strategy proving they have their customers best interest at heart”. EPI will provide 3 types of upgrade packages. Those with the Uptime Institute Design Certificate can choose to upgrade to a TIA-942 Design Certificate or TIA-942 Facilities Certificate. Those with Uptime Institute Constructed Facilities Certificate can upgrade to a TIA-942 Constructed Facilities. Pricing varies depending on the size and target rating level of a data centre but are often at a fraction of the cost compared to Uptime Institute’s Tier Topology certification.
