Solution

XDC+ GC-EB2 Phase 1 was awarded Tier IV TCCF in March of 2019. The data center deploys whole 2N topology in a mission critical infrastructure and put more attention on BA system in order to make sure all systems can response autonomously while facing a single fault and fulfill the Tier IV requirements. It is worth addressing that during the certification process, XDC+ obtained 8 patents and 26 software patents. This strengthens XDC’s capability of intelligent data center operation and the development of DCIM to realize the effective data center operations.

As a data center international industry standard, the requirements of Tier IV are rigorous and result-oriented. There were numerous challenges and obstacles during the certification process, but XDC+ team worked together to solve all the technical issues. XDC+ will continue to pursue high availability, high security, high standard data centers and is planning to move forward next to achieve Tier Standard of Operational Sustainability certification and award.
