Capitoline Ltd, a UK-based independent engineering consultancy and one of the few TIA-licensed Certification Bodies worldwide, has given BladeRoom Data Centres' Hyperscale System data center design a good standing, confirming that the design meets the Rating 3 requirements of TIA942. The TIA942 standard is one of the most widely used data center standard in the world, providing a technical framework for defining the resilience of data centers based on the TIA's unique rating system. A Rating 4 qualification is the highest and defines a completely fault-tolerant system with no single points of failure. Most data centers aim to achieve a Rating 3, which is defined by its ability to be concurrently maintainable, meaning there is never any planned downtime as all vital services are effectively duplicated.
The BladeRoom Hyperscale System is engineered to meet the specific technical and operational requirements of companies with hyper-scale IT requirements, and it has been designed to be the world's most sustainable data center. It is more efficient than any other data center and currently has over 165 data halls in operation across the globe, from New York to Melbourne, providing more than 130MW of capacity and registering in excess of 12 million hours of operation.
Capitoline's analysis covered the BladeRoom System’s mechanical construction, power supplies, cooling, IT cabling, fire detection, fire suppression, BMS capability, and physical security. BladeRoom Data Centres are part of BRG Technologies, the global leader in the off-site construction of mission-critical facilities, specializing in the data center and healthcare sectors. They are one of the fastest-growing companies in Europe, recently ranking in the top 500 of the Financial Times 1000.
