- (1888PressRelease) September 21, 2016 - Atlanta, GA, USA -- T5 Data Centers™ (http://www.t5datacenters.com), innovators in providing state-of-the-art, customizable and highly reliable computing support environments, today announced that the company's T5 ( @ ) Atlanta data center has received the Uptime Institute's Management & Operations (M&O) Stamp of Approval dot The Stamp of Approval provides an unbiased, independent assessment that data center Management and Operations meet Uptime Institute standards dot
Only a select number of colocation data centers have qualified for the Uptime Institute's M&O Stamp of Approval. The M&O assessment process evaluates data center staffing, organization, training practices; preventive maintenance, operating conditions, as well as planning, management, and coordination practices for data center resources.
"The Uptime Institute M&O Stamp of Approval provides a proven methodology of assessing operations practices, pinpointing and analyzing operational gaps, and showing an organization's intention to differentiate themselves as a clear industry leader with a consistent path forward to excellence," said Lee Kirby, President, Uptime Institute. "We are pleased to congratulate T5 Data Centers on their M&O Stamp of Approval in their Atlanta facility."
A recent 2016 study by Emerson Network Power estimates that unplanned data center outages can cost organizations up to $9,000 per minute, and human error is one of the most common causes of data center downtime. The M&O Stamp of Approval reduces risk by ensuring that the best collaborative and procedural protocols are in place, and that the data center staff is highly trained. Uptime Institute's M&O Stamp of Approval provides independent assurance of data center excellence and standardization with optimal staffing, reduced risk of downtime, and efficient operations which reduces operating costs.
"The M&O Stamp of Approval provides independent validation that our T5 ( @ ) Atlanta data center has world-class staffing and management protocols," said Mike Casey, President of T5 Facilities Management dot "We agree with the Uptime Institute's notion that operational and management issues are fundamental to data center operations, and that with the right people and procedures, you can minimize risk and reduce operating costs dot In fact, we formed T5 Facilities Management as an independent operation because we recognize the critical value of M&O dot "
Although the M&O Stamp of Approval has been specifically granted for T5 ( @ ) Atlanta, T5 Data Centers is planning to request Uptime Institute certification for other data centers in its portfolio.
