Member Standards Support
The data centre is a complex infrastructure governed by a wide range of influences. Many helpful Standards and guideline documents are available that provide advice and assistance when designing, building and operating a data centre. The challenge comes in deciding which ones you should adopt to meet your own business needs and those of your customers.
Through your Trade Association you also have access to DCA approved independent industry experts who can work with you to fully understand the Standards landscape, decide which Standards best suit your business needs and work with you to ensure you achieve the desired accreditation's you are seeking.
