ICTroom achieves Tier Specialist accreditation and takes next step in data center uptime

After ICTroom was the first datacenter developer in The Netherlands with a datacenter engineer which was awarded with the ATD (Accredited Tier Designer) status by the renowned Uptime Institute in 2011, there is now also the accreditation as ATS (Accredited Tier Specialist) for Ir. Pim Kuijper, head of Service & Maintenance at ICTroom.

 

Date: 12 Oct 2012

Uptime Institute standards are valuable, global standards that are used in the design and operation of datacenters. The Tier classification system translates datacenter performance to design and construction in relation to the availability needs of organizations.

The ICTroom Service & Maintenance unit focuses on operational sustainability of datacenter infrastructure. In order to achieve maximum availability all aspects of running a data center come together in their services.

Sander Nieuwmeijer, Managing Partner at ICTroom: "We are very pleased with our accreditation as Tier specialist. This recognition and the working methods that comes with it, fits perfectly in our approach and our philosophy regarding organizing the availability of datacenters. ICTroom has a specialized service organization, which on a daily base contributes to the uptime of the datacenter facility infrastructure (DFI) of our customers. In it’s role as ATS, the ICTroom Service & Maintenance Manager contributes to the prevention of over-investment and shortages, avoiding unexpected failures and brings infrastructure in line with the business case. In this way, the true potential of a datacenter is reached ".

“With this Accredited Tier Specialist, ICTroom may better serve the Dutch market through application of the Uptime Institute’s globally recognized Standards. Pim Kuijper has completed an intensive curriculum, better equipping him to support ongoing data center management to reduce operator error,”said Paul Avery, Director of Business Development, Uptime Institute.
