New DCA Certification awarded to Datum FRN1 Data Centre
September 2015 by Emmanuelle Lamandé
Datum Datacentres announced that Datum FRN1* has been approved by the DCA Certification Board as a Fully Operational Class 3 Data Centre.
In the diverse world of data centre provision, the DCA Certification scheme was launched to provide prospective buyers with a range of usable standards for meaningful insight into a data centre’s fit-for-purpose relating to business role, environmental impact, management culture and reliability. Starting from the recognition that not all organisations have the same requirements and priorities, the independently audited scheme identifies not just a data centre’s resilience class but also the physical security of the site, its energy efficiency strategy and operational professionalism. Based on the international data standards BSEN50600, the categorisation is intended to help clients select the appropriate category for their needs.
