Tier Standards (Uptime Institute): A globally recognized benchmark for the design, construction, and operation of data centers. They classify data centers into four tiers based on factors such as redundancy, fault tolerance, and availability. Tier I represents basic capacity with non-redundant components, while Tier IV denotes fault-tolerant infrastructure. This classification helps organizations determine the level of service they require from a data center, balancing operational capabilities against cost and business needs.
