Resilience & Certification

Built to a concurrent-maintainability standard

Our facility is engineered to ANSI/TIA-942 Rated-3 — the concurrently maintainable level, second from the top of the four-level scale. Every power and cooling path can be serviced without taking your systems offline. Independent certification is underway, and our management systems are being certified to the ISO standards below.

Resilience level

Rated-4

Fault Tolerant

Withstands a component failure, no impact

Rated-3

Concurrently Maintainable Second from top · Our standard

Maintain any component with zero IT downtime

Rated-2

Redundant Components

Redundant parts, single path

Rated-1

Basic

Single path, no redundancy

Green Racks targets ANSI/TIA-942 Rated-3 (concurrently maintainable) — the industry level equivalent in intent to a “Tier III” facility. “Tier” is a classification of the Uptime Institute; Green Racks certifies under ANSI/TIA-942 and ISO/IEC 22237, which use the “Rated” / “Class” scale.
