NEXTDC Achieves UTI Tier III Certification for S1 Data Centre NEXTDC Limited (ASX: NXT) (“the Company” or “NEXTDC”) is pleased to announce its S1 data centre in Macquarie Park (“S1”) has formally received the Uptime Institute’s (“UTI”) Tier III certification for both design and construction. UTI has awarded 278 certifications in 44 countries around the world and is seen as a global authority on data centre design and management. It provides unbiased, third-party research, education, certification and consultation services on improving data centre performance and efficiency. UTI’s Tier III certification of a data centre focuses on the facility’s capability to provide concurrent maintainability. This refers to the ability for individual machines or parts of the critical infrastructure to be shut down for maintenance or replacement with zero impact to critical power and heating, ventilation and air-conditioning. Tier III certification provides UTI’s endorsement that the facility’s design will support extremely high levels of service availability. Craig Scroggie, NEXTDC’s CEO, commented on the process, “Working with Uptime Institute to obtain Tier III certification demonstrates our commitment to meeting the very highest standards on behalf of our customers. Certification is a highly involved process that has added another level of detail, discipline and assurance to the project.” S1 remains on track for both its commercial launch and official opening on 30 September 2013.
