Atlanta,
GA, USA -- T5 Data Centers™ (http://www.t5datacenters.com),
innovators in providing state-of-the-art, customizable and highly
reliable computing support environments, today announced that the
company's T5@Atlanta data center has received the Uptime Institute's
Management & Operations (M&O) Stamp of Approval. The Stamp of
Approval provides an unbiased, independent assessment that data
center Management and Operations meet Uptime Institute standards.
Only
a select number of colocation data centers have qualified for the
Uptime Institute's M&O Stamp of Approval. The M&O assessment
process evaluates data center staffing, organization, training
practices; preventive maintenance, operating conditions, as well as
planning, management, and coordination practices for data center
resources.
"The
Uptime Institute M&O Stamp of Approval provides a proven
methodology of assessing operations practices, pinpointing and
analyzing operational gaps, and showing an organization's intention
to differentiate themselves as a clear industry leader with a
consistent path forward to excellence," said Lee Kirby,
President, Uptime Institute. "We are pleased to congratulate T5
Data Centers on their M&O Stamp of Approval in their Atlanta
facility."
A
recent 2016 study by Emerson Network Power estimates that unplanned
data center outages can cost organizations up to $9,000 per minute,
and human error is one of the most common causes of data center
downtime. The M&O Stamp of Approval reduces risk by ensuring that
the best collaborative and procedural protocols are in place, and
that the data center staff is highly trained. Uptime Institute's M&O
Stamp of Approval provides independent assurance of data center
excellence and standardization with optimal staffing, reduced risk of
downtime, and efficient operations which reduces operating costs.
"The
M&O Stamp of Approval provides independent validation that our
T5@Atlanta data center has world-class staffing and management
protocols," said Mike Casey, President of T5 Facilities
Management. "We agree with the Uptime Institute's notion that
operational and management issues are fundamental to data center
operations, and that with the right people and procedures, you can
minimize risk and reduce operating costs. In fact, we formed T5
Facilities Management as an independent operation because we
recognize the critical value of M&O."
Although
the M&O Stamp of Approval has been specifically granted for
T5@Atlanta, T5 Data Centers is planning to request Uptime Institute
certification for other data centers in its portfolio.
