TIA-942 standard

The TIA-942 standard outlines guidelines for designing data centers to ensure they are secure, efficient, and reliable. It covers areas such as site location, infrastructure, and systems for power and cooling. The standard also includes recommendations for telecommunications and fire safety. It uses a tier system to categorize data centers based on their performance and redundancy levels, ranging from Tier I (basic) to Tier IV (highly resilient). By following TIA-942, organizations can create facilities that protect critical data and support continuous operation, which is essential in today’s digital world.
