1 BICSI 002 / TIA 942 / Uptime Which Data Center Standard Should I Follow Phil Isaak, PE, P.Eng., RCDD, DCDC President, Master Instructor Isaak Technologies Inc.

2 Standards Who are these People Standards Distribution & Grounding Network Standards Protocols IT Hardware Manufacturers Media Standards Cabling Manufacturers Design & Installation Standards End Users, Contractors, Consultants, Manufacturers

3 Uptime TIA BICSI Uptime Institute (2010) Data Center Site Infrastructure Tier Standard: Topology 12 pages For Profit Privately Held NOT a Standard ANSI/TIA 942 A (2012) Telecommunications Infrastructure Standard for Data Centers 118 pages Open Industry Standard NOT Vendor Neutral ANSI/BICSI Data Center Design and Implementation Best Practices 392 pages Open Industry Standard Vendor Neutral

4 ANSI Certified Standard Requirements Openness: Participation shall be open to all persons who are directly and materially affected by the activity in question. Lack of Dominance: The standards development process shall not be dominated by any single interest category, individual or organization. Balance: Participants from diverse interest categories shall be sought with the objective of achieving balance.

5 BICSI Subject Matter Experts More than 150 subject matter experts from around the world participated in developing the standard. Perspectives: Data Center Managers Data Center Operators Consultants Contractors Risk Assessors Manufacturers Commissioning Agents Expertise: Facility Engineers/Architects IT Engineers/Architects System Administrators Telecommunications Security Fire Protection Project Managers

6 Design Guide vs Benchmarking ANSI/BICSI Provides a reference of common terminology and design practices a framework for determining the recommended facility and technology redundancy to meet the operational requirements, achieve IT objectives and to develop optimum design & implementation solutions Uptime Tiers Only data center benchmarking system developed by and for data center owners, not a checklist, design menu, or cookbook Source: Uptime Institute: Tier Classification System & Operational Sustainability presented by Dana Smith, Director of Development, Uptime Institute at BICSI Andino 2012

Local in scope, affecting only a single site, or resulting in a minor disruption or delay in achieving key organizational objectives. Regional in scope, affecting a portion of the enterprise or resulting in a moderate disruption or delay in achieving key organizational objectives. Multiregional in scope, affecting a major portion of the enterprise or resulting in a major disruption or delay in achieving key organizational objectives. Affecting the quality of service delivery across the entire enterprise, or resulting in a significant disruption or delay in achieving key organizational objectives.
