 • The data center is a dedicated space were your firm
houses its most important information and relies on it
being safe and accessible. Best practices ensure that you
are doing everything possible to keep it that way.
• Best practices mean different things to different people
and organizations. This series of articles will focus on the
major best practices applicable across all types of data
centers, including enterprise, colocation, and internet
facilities. We will review codes, design standards, and
operational standards.

Code and Standards in Designing and Upgrading Data Center
• Best practices in
– facility conceptual design
– space planning,
– building construction
– physical security
– mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and fire protection.
– Facility operations, maintenance, and procedures.
• Following appropriate codes and standards when designing new or
upgrading an existing data center.
• Data center design and infrastructure standards:
– national codes (required), e.g. those of the NFPA,
– local codes (required), e.g the New York State Energy Conservation
Construction Code
– Performance standards like the Uptime Institute’s Tier Standard (optional)
– Green certifications, i.e. LEED, Green Globes, and Energy Star.

Three major data center design Standard
• Uptime Institute’s Tier Standard
– performance-based methodology for the data center during the
design, construction, and commissioning phases to determine the
resiliency of the facility with respect to four Tiers or levels of
redundancy/reliability. The Tiers are compared in the table below
and can be found in greater definition in UI’s white paper
TUI3026E. The origins of the Uptime Institute as a data center
users group established it as the first group to measure and
compare a data center’s reliability.

 • ANSI/BICSI 002-2014
Data Center Design and Implementation Best Practices: This
standard covers the major aspects of planning, design, construction,
and commissioning of the MEP building trades, as well as fire
protection, IT, and maintenance. It is arranged as a guide for data
center design, construction, and operation. Ratings/Reliability is
defined by Class 0 to 4 and certified by BICSI-trained and certified
professionals.

11/30/20 5
 • ANSI/TIA 942-A 2014
Telecommunication Infrastructure Standard for Data Centers: This
standard is more IT cable and network oriented and has various
infrastructure redundancy and reliability concepts based on the
Uptime Institute’s Tier Standard. In 2013, UI requested that TIA stop
using the Tier system to describe reliability levels, and TIA switched to
using the word “Rated” in lieu of “Tiers,” defined as Rated 1-4. TIA
uses tables within the standard to easily identify the ratings for
telecommunications, architectural, electrical, and mechanical
systems. The 2005 standard

EN 50600: an International Standard
• An international series of data center standards in continuous development is the
EN 50600 series. Many aspects of this standard reflect the UI, TIA, and BCSI
standards. Facility ratings are based on Availability Classes, from 1 to 4. The
standard breaks down as follows:
• EN 50600-1 General concepts
• EN 50600-2-1 Building construction
• EN 50600-2-2 Power distribution
• EN 50600-2-3 Environmental control
• EN 50600-2-4 Telecommunications cabling infrastructure
• EN 50600-2-5 Security systems
• EN 50600-2-6 Management and operational information systems

 • Regulatory Standards
• Government regulations for data centers will depend on the nature of the
business and can include HIPPA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability
Act), SOX (Sarbanes Oxley) 2002, SAS 70 Type I or II, GLBA (Gramm-Leach
Bliley Act), as well as new regulations that may be implemented depending on
the nature of your business and the present security situation.

11/30/20 8
 • Operational Standards
– There are also many operational standards to choose from. These are
standards that guide your day-to-day processes and procedures once the data
center is built:
– Uptime Institute: Operational Sustainability (with and without Tier certification)
– ISO 9000 – Quality System
– ISO 14000 – Environmental Management System
– ISO 27001 – Information Security
– PCI – Payment Card Industry Security Standard
– SOC, SAS70 & ISAE 3402 or SSAE16, FFIEC (USA) – Assurance Controls
– AMS-IX – Amsterdam Internet Exchange – Data Centre Business Continuity
Standard
– EN50600-2-6 Management and Operational Information
– These standards will also vary based on the nature of the business and
include guidelines associated with detailed operations and maintenance
procedures for all of the equipment in the data center.
11/30/20 9
Consistency and Documentation are Key
• Regardless of the standard followed, documentation and record keeping of your
operation and maintenance activities is one of the most important parts of the
process. Software management tools such as DCIM (Data Center Infrastructure
Management), CMMS (Computerized Maintenance Management System), EPMS
(Electrical Power Monitoring System), and DMS (Document Management
System) for operations and maintenance can provide a “single pane of glass” to
view all required procedures, infrastructure assets, maintenance activities, and
operational issues.
• Your facility must meet the business mission. Data center design, construction,
and operational standards should be chosen based on definition of that mission.
Not all facilities supporting your specific industry will meet your defined mission,
so your facility may not look or operate like another, even in the same industry.
