TORONTO – Primus Business Services will open the doors on Canada's first Tier III design and construction certified data centre on August 1 in Toronto.
Known Toronto DC3, the 30,000 square foot facility of raised flooring and 1,000 cabinet capacity is the only multi-tenant data centre in Canada to be awarded Uptime Institute's Tier III Certification for Design and Construction. This certification ensures clients will benefit from concurrent maintainability, meaning Toronto DC3 will never be shut down for maintenance or to replace any element of the capacity or distribution. In addition, this data centre exceeds Tier III requirements by meeting the fault tolerance capabilities of Tier IV facilities to offer customers further reliability.
Certification also eliminates the need for Canadian businesses and organizations to take on the responsibility of validating their own data centre's design and reliability, which includes anything from service disruptions to other IT problems. This means they are not only given peace of mind by not having to worry about risk, but they will save the costs associated with paying for their own audits.
