- 2. Four Tiers for Data CenterTier 1A Basic Data CenterTier 2A Redundant Data CenterTier 3A Concurrently Maintainable Data CenterTier 4A Fault Tolerant Data Center
- 3. Tier 1- A Basic Data CenterNon-redundant capacity w/ single distribution pathVulnerable to human and operational errorsRequires annual maintenance to prevent serious operation failureMaintenance requires site wide shutdown
- 4. Tier 2- A Redundant Data CenterRedundant capacity component w/ single distribution pathComponent can be removed without impacting computer equipmentVulnerable to human and operational errorsAnnual maintenance requires site wide shutdown
- 5. Tier 3 â A Concurrently Maintainable Data Center Redundant capacity component w/ multiple, independent distribution pathComponent can be removed without impacting computer equipmentSomewhat vulnerable to human and operational errorsAnnual maintenance can be completed while data center remains operational
- 6. Tier 4 â A Fault Tolerant Data CenterMultiple, independent, physically isolated capacity components and distribution pathsPhysically isolated system prevent massive infrastructure failureComponent can be removed without impacting computer equipment
- 7. Tier 4 â A Fault Tolerant Data Center (cont.)System Self Heals â Automatically respond to prevent further site failureNot vulnerable to human and operational errorsAnnual maintenance can be completed while data center remains operational
- 8. Data Center Tier and UptimeTier 1A tier 1 data center has 99.67% uptimeTier 2A tier 2 data center has 99.75% uptimeTier 3A tier 3 data center has 99.98% uptimeTier 4A tier 4 data center has 99.99% uptime
