Melbourne – March 15, 2017 – Micron21 today announced that the company has been awarded the Uptime Institute Tier IV Design Certification for its data centre. This certification is based on a rigorous set of criteria covering mechanical, electrical, structural and site elements. Micron21 is the first data centre in Australia to be awarded Tier IV Fault Tolerant Design Certification.
“We are thrilled to be included amongst the few data centres in the world to receive the Uptime Institute Tier IV Design Certification,” said Micron21 founder, James Braunegg. “This is a positive first step forward in data centre design for Australia, with rigorous data security standards to help us define a benchmark for excellence.”
The Micron21 state-of-the-art data centre is located in an outer eastern suburb of Melbourne. The data centre design caters for fully managed high density cloud services and support. It is a hub that provides solutions for clients requiring mission critical and fault tolerant data centre services. The data centre also includes an onsite Systems and Security; and Network Operation Centre (SOC & NOC). This centre is key to providing fully integrated monitoring and support services for customers. Many customers require direct access to highly talented systems, security and network engineers – 24 hours a day. All of the above create a complete end to end solution for customers.
James Braunegg states, “Key supporters who helped us on our journey were Blue IoT, Brocade, Cummins Power Generation, Dell, NSFOCUS, Uptime Institute and Vertiv Corporation. We thank them for their valuable support.”
