Atlanta,
GA, USA -- Mike Casey, President of T5 Facilities Management
(T5FM) (http://www.t5datacenters.com/facilities-management),
has received the Leadership Award as Operations Pacesetter from the
Uptime Institute. The Award was presented at the Uptime Institute
Symposium in recognition of T5FM's role in earning the M&O Stamp
of Approval across the T5 data center portfolio.
Under
Mike's leadership, all eligible T5 data centers received the Uptime
Institute's Management & Operations (M&O) Stamp of Approval
including T5@Atlanta, T5@Charlotte II, T5@Dallas, T5@LA, and
T5@Portland. T5's Tier III certified data center, T5@Charlotte VII,
will undergo Uptime's Operational Sustainability assessment later
this year.
The
Uptime Institute M&O Stamp of Approval provides a means to
conduct risk analysis and validates the rigor and effectiveness of a
data center operations team by an industry recognized third party
expert in designing, constructing, and operating data centers.
T5's
data center portfolio received some of the highest M&O scores
ever awarded by Uptime. The consistent high scores are attributed to
T5FM's team and proprietary operational methodology, the Four Pillars
of T5FM: Safety, Training, Process/Procedures, and Customer
Communication.
"We
are delighted to see Mike receive the Uptime Leadership award. The
award is testament to Mike and his team's commitment to providing
outstanding customer service," said Pete Marin, President and
CEO of T5 Data Centers. "Mike has been instrumental in the
success of T5FM, not only providing outstanding service to T5's
customers but to their growing list of third party data center
customers. The T5FM commitment to excellence is part of T5's DNA and
is reflected in the quality of data center operations."
