Advantages for Colocation Providers

If your business is colocation, having a data center Facility Certified enables potential customers to see that a qualified third party has reviewed the data center design and facility, and certified it to a globally trusted standard. With a qualified independent third party validation and certification, the risk to clients is reduced.

That’s added value to both the colocation vendor, and the potential clients. Less time assessing, less time in validation means faster implementation, resulting in win-win for client and colocation facilities.

Facility Certification does provide awareness of operational risks, design risks, and serves as a basis for managing the gaps. Regardless of your facility objective, knowing where you stand against the design standard the facility was built to is power in your hands. It’s also money in your bank account. Consumers and potential clients are increasingly interested in the benchmark of the data centers of businesses they entrust with their data, their operations, and their livelihood.
