Tier Classification System &
Operational Sustainability
Overview
Overview



Why Uptime Institute Tiers?

• Internationally recognized de facto standard
> Downloaded in over 110 countries
> Tier Certifications in over 25 countries
• Only data center benchmarking system developed
by and for data center owners
> Owners Advisory Committee
• Encourages innovative engineering solutions
• Allows for client equipment preferences


Tiers Rate the Design

• Configuration of the site infrastructure equipment
> Maintenance opportunities
> Fault response
• Driven by owner’s tolerance for an outage
> Planned or unplanned downtime
• D not address operation or l
Do t dd ti location of th f ilit
ti f the facility


Tier I & Tier II

• Tier I Basic Capacity
> Non-redundant capacity components (“N” only)
• Critical environment power and cooling systems
> Single distribution path
• Tier II Redundant Components
> Redundant capacity components (N+R)
• Engine g
g generators, UPS modules, IT and UPS cooling
g
> Single distribution path
• Operations and Maintenance Considerations
> Site infrastructure and Critical Environments must be shut down
for annual maintenance and repair work
> Installation or construction of capacity may disrupt the critical
environment


Tier III – Concurrently Maintainable

• Summary
> Redundant capacity components and independent
distribution paths
> N t all equipment nor paths are required t b active
Not ll i t th i d to be ti
> Single-corded equipment can defeat the built environment
> No runtime limits on engine-generators(ISO 8528.1)
engine generators(ISO
> Each and Every capacity component and distribution path
element can be t k out of service for maintenance,
l t b taken t f i f i t
repair, or replacement without impacting the Critical
Environment or IT processes


Tier IV – Fault Tolerant

• Summary
> Compartmentalized critical equipment
> ‘N’ after any failure
> Continuous Cooling for critical IT and UPS Systems
> Single-corded equipment can defeat
> No runtime limits on engine-generators(ISO 8528 1)

Beyond Tier:
Operational Sustainability
O ti l S t i bilit
• Operational Sustainability is the management of the
physical infrastructure to ensure long-term
performance
> Staffing
> Training
> Processes & Procedures
> Place


Why is Operational Sustainability
Important?
I t t?
• Beyond design and construction
> Tier Classification System is design of physical equipment
> Operational Sustainability is its ongoing operation
• Ensures management of the data center investment
for highest performance


Operational Sustainability Elements

• Management & Operations
> 70% of outages are attributable to human error
> Highest weighting
• Building Characteristics
> Building features, design attributes, and operating
conditions impact availability objectives
• Site Location
> Mitigation of natural or man-made risks
g


Energy Efficiency

• Addressed in multiple components
• Components with energy efficiency aspects:
> Space, power, cooling capacity management
> Operating set points
> Computer room management
> 3rd-Party Certifications: Energ Star LEED EU Code of
Part Certifications Energy Star, LEED,
Conduct


Tier Myths and Misconceptions



Common Tier Misconceptions
Addressed
Add d
• The following do not affect Tier Certification
g
> Utility feeds
> Density, height of raised floor, floor loading
> Site location, staffing, security, equipment selections
• Single points-of-failure only affect Tier IV Certification
• Tiers do not recognize fractional (Tier III 5) or increments
III.5)
(Tier III-)
• Component count (N+1, N+2, 2N, 2[N+1], S+S) is not a
reliable indicator of Tier
• Uptime Institute Tiers are not affiliated with TIA-942


Uptime Institute vs. TIA-942
TIA 942

• Uptime Institute
> Developed by and for owner/operators
• Performance-based for organizations with critical uptime needs
• R
Responds t and d i
d to d driven b client b i
by li t business case
> Fundamental concepts that can be aligned with IT
architecture/topology
p gy
• Concurrent Maintenance, Fault Tolerance
> Tiers (design topology) and Operational Sustainability
(other risk and enhancements)
> Allows and encourages innovative engineering solutions,
client equipment preferences, and emerging technologies


Uptime Institute Tiers vs. TIA-942
TIA 942

• TIA-942
TIA 942
> Checklist
> Developed by committee with engineering and
manufacturer agendas
f t d
> Component/equipment count approach to solution
> No distinction between design topology and site
management
> Sites penalized for factors not affecting uptime
• Distance from major metropolitan area
> Compliance is not weakest link, but ‘mostly’
