Datacenter and telecommunication sites are the backbone of today’s business. Downtime means frustrated customers, lost revenue and lost business opportunities.
In order to avoid costly downtime it is important to measure important parameters in the datacenter which could affect its operation. By having an in-depth understanding of the risks facing a datacenter or telecommunication site, businesses are able to prioritize investments for improvement.
New standards, such as BASIL II, BS15000 and other governance standards, are increasingly acknowledging the datacenter as a key area with regard to risk reduction and cost effectiveness of IT-Operations.
The Datacenter Compliance Certification (DCC) service is an extensive survey of the datacenter according to nationally and internationally recognized standards. This survey is, therefore, quite unique to the industry. Outside of our partner, EPI, there is no other organization which has completed such a significant amount of research, compiling standards into a usable and applicable format. This makes 4Sight truly unique.
