Introducing Syska’s Criticality Levels™
The term “Criticality” follows from Syska's “Critical
Facilities” team having worked within millions of square
feet of critical facilities, turning that experience into new
industry best practices. Syska’s Criticality
Level™ definitions
document Syska’s approach which has been developed over
many years for major financial and other clients. Syska’s
Criticality Level concept is comparable in parts to data center “tier” levels
used in the industry.
Various data center tier classifications have been in use
for some time. These classifications have focused on power
and other infrastructure as the primary failure components
of the past. However, data centers are constantly evolving
and Syska’s Critical Facilities Team has developed a
newly defined and detailed approach to the levels of criticality
for data, telecom and other critical elements, to drive a comprehensive
balance of all parameters to a given Criticality Level using
our Critical Facilities Balance Sheet™.
Syska Hennessy Group Critical Facilities are designed and
constructed on a scale of 1-10, 10 being the ultimate in “Criticality”.
Many of the existing facilities we evaluate are Criticality
Levels 2, 3, 4 or 5, or C2 through C5 facilities.
Syska’s Criticality Levels address everything that is
important for availability of a critical or hypercritical
facility. Click
