ANSI/TIA-942 is a quality standard for Data Centers that represents a worldwide consensus of industry leaders on the Design and Construction of Data Centers. TIA (Telecommunications Industry Association) is the leading trade association representing the global information and communications technology (ICT) industry through standards development, policy initiatives, business opportunities, market intelligence and networking events. TIA is accredited by ANSI (American National Standards Institute) as a'Standards Development Organization' (SDO). The ANSI/TIA-942 Conformance Audit conducted by EPI provides an extensive and thorough assessment of conformance to the requirements of the standard, involving over 2,600 criteria spanning Architecture, Electrical, Mechanical, Telecommunications, Safety and Security. The audit helps verify whether your critical infrastructure is aligned with your business requirements.
ANSI/TIA-942 is by far the most popular standard when it comes to Data Center Design. Independent research has shown that 78% of data center owners/operators use the ANSI/TIA-942 standard as the basis for their data center design.
