that data centers are built with optimal energy efficiency, security, and scalability. “So, we created and manage a certification program that deploys third-party certification bodies to go out and evaluate companies that have recently built a new data center, have a data center in design, or are renewing a certification,” Stehlin explains, noting that each of those circumstances have different certification standards applied to them. The initiative, based on the TIA’s TR-42 standards for data center infrastructure, has garnered significant global traction. In just a few years, over 600 data centers in more than 50 countries have achieved certification. These standards have arrived at a pivotal point in the industry’s evolution. As AI, machine learning, and other power-hungry technologies take center stage, the demand for energy-efficient and secure data centers is only expected to increase. 135 BUSINESS VIEW MAGAZINE VOLUME 12, ISSUE 07 TELECOMMUNICATIONS INDUSTRY ASSOCIATION (TIA)
