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 five of
its data center facilities have received the 2016 Uptime Institute
Network's Data Center Performance Award. Four data centers -
T5@Atlanta, T5@LA, T5@Dallas, and T5@Kings Mountain - have received
the award for the second year in a row, demonstrating 24 months of
continuous, uninterrupted operations. The company's T5@Portland
facility also received a one-year Data Center Performance Award for
flawless operation since the data center became operational in June
of 2015.
The
Uptime Institute Network's Data Center Performance Awards were
implemented in 1998 to recognize member companies for maintaining
continuous uptime of all IT equipment in their data centers. T5 Data
Centers joined the Uptime Institute Network in January 2014, and
since then, all of the company's data centers have qualified for the
Data Center Performance Award. T5 Data Centers has never had an
unplanned outage since the company began operations in 2012.
"Receipt
of the Data Center Performance Awards is proof of T5 Data Centers'
ongoing commitment to providing customers with Total Availability -
reliable operations without service interruptions," said Mike
Casey President of T5 Facilities Management. "Starting before we
joined the Uptime Institute Network, we have maintained continuous
operation at all of our facilities, thanks to proven best practices
implemented by our team of dedicated, experienced IT professionals.
T5 is committed to providing the most reliable data centers and
colocation facilities on the market, and we are delighted to have the
Uptime Data Center Performance Award as independent evidence of our
commitment to operational excellence."
"Some
of the reasons that Comcast chose to partner with T5 to build their
new Data Center in Hillsboro were after visiting their existing data
center locations we were impressed by the attention to detail, the
quality of the work and their robust preventive maintenance program
and staffing model," said Kevin Gustafson, Director, Data Center
Services West, for Comcast. "After completing the build and a
year of having the building in service T5 has lived up to all that we
thought they would deliver."
"On
behalf of the Infrastructure Technology Management Group and Data
Center Team, I would like to acknowledge the excellent work provided
by T5@LA in supporting the Los Angeles World Airports Data Center,"
said Dennis Paragas, Data Center Supervisor for LAWA. "The T5@LA
operations team, headed by John Ducic and Paul Kim, has been able to
provide complete 100% uptime up to this quarter year of 2016. Our IT
equipment has not experienced any disruption in power nor experienced
any outage during T5's maintenance and upgrade. Thank you T5@LA for
all your great work."
