Some requirements covering health and safety and energy management are covered by European Directives and national standards. The Up Time Institute. N+1 and 2N methodology. Other variants may be 2N+1 for example. A well designed and constructed plant that takes into account appropriate Standards and best practice to achieve efficient and reliable operation Management techniques that put in to place operating procedures and protocols that ensure the continuing efficient and reliable operation of the data centre Disaster recovery plans that have an established and rehearsed procedure for dealing with any incident that impairs the operation of the data centre and puts in to place a recovery programme
Technical Standards Technical Standards give the best practice methods for designing and implementing the data centre from a physical. N means enough items to do the job at hand. Briefly. The TIA 942 standard draws heavily upon the philosophy offered in the TUI document and offers more detail in engineering terms about what is required to achieve these levels. The hierarchy and order of precedence of standards for the Netherlands is Laws. these are: ANSI/TIA 942:2005 Telecommunications Infrastructure Standards for Data Centers and Tier Classifications define site infrastructure performance. Both of the above standards are American. One central plank of the philosophy is the adoption of the N. N+1 means that each system has one redundant component and 2N means that systems are completely replicated.1
In tr o d uc ti o n
The successful and reliable provision of data centre services depends upon the following. Many technical standards exist that cover the myriad of engineering disciplines encountered in a data centre but two documents in particular address the engineering aspects of data centre design and subsequent resilience and redundancy of that design. meaning two independent systems where each system also has redundant components. 2008 The Up Time Institute’s (TUI) document defines four ‘Tiers’ of operation that describe the expected downtime per year from a data centre when certain design routes are taken. Ultimately it is a risk versus cost strategy as more levels of redundancy and resilience will invariably cost more. Regulations and Statutory Instruments of The Netherlands Directives of the European Union Dutch national standards

. Organisations are invited to consider the costs of downtime to their own business before they decide upon the strategy most appropriate to their business. The methods described in the two American documents are mostly universal but for use in Europe the technical references contained in TIA 942 need to be substituted for EU Directives and CENELEC standards wherever necessary. There are no directly equivalent European (CENELEC) or international standards (ISO/IEC). electrical and mechanical viewpoint.
The next stage is managing the data centre and being prepared for technical failures or any other event that impinges upon the data centre operation.
