Uptime Institute Client Case Study: Chayora Tianjin Data Center Receives Tier III TCOS Gold Certification

The successful collaboration between Uptime consultants and the Chayora team has led to a smooth progression through the multi-stage certification process. We recently partnered with Uptime to write a case study outlining the significance and impact of obtaining the Uptime Institute Tier Certification. The study highlights how this certification has helped Chayora tackle business challenges and unlock new opportunities.

Challenges and Opportunities

Building and maintaining customer trust in China is both a challenge and a critical factor for business success. Chayora's clients demand scalability, high performance, transparency into ROI, and assurance of compliance. To meet these demands, Chayora is not only able to provide reassurance but also prove that its data centers meet the industry's most rigorous digital infrastructure standards from design and construction to operation.

Uptime Institute Tier Certification is highly esteemed in the Chinese market, and Chayora recognized its importance in establishing business credibility and gaining customer trust, which in turn drives interest and demand from both domestic and international clients. As a result, Chayora has become one of the first data centers in China to fully collaborate with Uptime Institute and is working toward achieving Tier III TCOS Gold certification.

Solutions

Chayora embarked on the Tianjin data center project with a clear goal: to achieve Tier III TCOS certification. From the initial design phase through to construction and operation, Chayora dedicated substantial time and resources to collaborate with Uptime Institute, ensuring full compliance at every stage. This involved close cooperation with Uptime engineers during the facility's design phase, which is conducive to obtaining the Tier III Certified Design (TCDD). After completing construction, starting up the facility, and undergoing the necessary Uptime assessments, Chayora obtained Tier III Certified Construction (TCCF) in March 2021. The company then focused on securing Tier III TCOS certification, which began in October 2021.

The TCOS assessment from Uptime helps data center owners and operators evaluate the management practices and risks associated with running critical digital infrastructure. It serves as a crucial benchmark for operational efficiency and effectiveness. Organizations with TCOS certification have proven that their data centers are not only well-designed and built but also operate at the expected performance levels.
