E Solutions Tier 3 Data Centers
The tier classification model provides an objective basis for comparing or describing the functionality, capacity, and cost of a data center’s facility architecture. In particular, the tier classification model is focused on the Availability of the facility itself, and is driven by the infrastructure to power and cool the data processing environment. Power and cooling capabilities of a facility are delivered by its Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing (MEP) infrastructure. The Mechanical systems provide cooling to the environment. It is comprised of air handlers, air conditioners, chillers, air flow, etc. Electrical systems provide the power to the data processing equipment. It is comprised of the utility service to the facility, transfer switches, generators, UPS, batteries, Power Distribution Units (PDUs), load banks, breaker panels, copper cabling, etc. Plumbing systems support the Mechanical and Electrical systems by routing cabling, air, water, fire suppression gases, etc.
