True IDC Achieves TIA-942 Rated 3 Certification for World-Class Data Center Services

True IDC, Thailand's number one data center and cloud service provider, announces another milestone in elevating its data center to international standards by officially achieving the ANSI/TIA-942 Rated 3: Telecommunications Infrastructure Standard for Data Centers (in physical infrastructure) from the Telecommunications Industry Association. This certification confirms that True IDC's data centers are fully equipped with a Concurrently Maintainable Site Infrastructure, capable of supporting mission-critical systems during both normal operations and maintenance. This perfectly aligns with the demands of public and private organizations that require maximum business continuity and security.

The certification covers five main engineering and infrastructure systems

1. Electrical System: Ensures reliability with a Dual-Bus (2N) power distribution design, equipped with high-efficiency generators and uninterruptible power supplies (UPS). Maintenance can be performed without causing any system interruption.
2. Mechanical/Cooling System: Features intelligent temperature control in accordance with global standards, utilizing Hot Aisle Containment technology. It includes an N+1 redundancy system for continuous operation and maximum energy efficiency.
3. Telecommunications: Operates as a Carrier Neutral facility, featuring diverse and separate cable pathways for maximum network stability.
4. Architectural Design: Features a highly durable building structure with clearly partitioned areas. It is equipped with a Very Early Warning Aspirating Smoke Detection (VESDA) system and a clean-agent fire suppression system that does not damage electronic equipment.
5. Physical Security: Offers 24/7 multi-layered security. Access to restricted areas is strictly controlled using Two-Factor Authentication (smart cards and biometric scanning).

Why is the TIA-942 Standard Important?

Achieving this world-class certification boosts confidence and provides maximum benefits to all organizations in the following ways

• High Availability: The electrical and cooling infrastructures are designed to be concurrently maintainable. Equipment can be maintained or replaced without causing system downtime, significantly reducing risks for mission-critical operations.
• Global Security Standards: Enhances trust through stringent physical security and access control systems, complying with the highest security standards in the telecommunications industry.
• Scalability: The systematic architectural and network design, in accordance with the TIA-942 standard, enables customers to expand their IT infrastructure capabilities flexibly and efficiently.
• Operational & Energy Efficiency: The standard ensures highly efficient cooling and electrical designs, optimizing heat and energy management. This directly contributes to reducing long-term operational costs.

Achieving the TIA-942 certification reflects True IDC’s unwavering commitment to continuously developing its services, elevating the potential of the industry, and driving the digital transformation of Thai businesses to compete on a global scale.
