FAQ
The main difference between Tier III and Tier IV data centres is in the level of redundancy. Tier III
will not be protected from outages in the event of serious incidents occuring on different
infastrucutre components. The Tier IV data centre is fully redudant in terms of electrical circuits,
cooling and network. Full a full overview of data centre tiers take a look at our comparions chart.
Redundancy is the duplication of critical components in the data centre system, for the purpose of
increasing reliability. Within the data centre world, the greater the redundancy, the smaller the
likely hood of experiencing downtime.
In a data centre system if you require 10 UPS units for normal operation, in a N+1 system you would
have your 10 UPS plus 1 additional unit to reduce chance of downtime. In order to run the same 10
unit data centre in a 2N system you would need 20 UPS units 10 for normal operation and 10 more for
backup. In a 2N system, unlike N+1, all equipment needs to run separetly with no single failure
points.
Have a look at our Data Centre Tier guide for redundancy requirements based on Tier levels.
A colocation is a data center where you lease as much space as you require from a data center
provider. Eliminating the need and cost associated with building and maintain your own data center.
There are four reasons Canada is becoming a hot spot for new data centres:
- Climate: cooler climate (winters) significantly lower the cooling costs
- Infrastructure: Cheap clean electricity, access to large bodies of water and
fast reliable internet connections
- Political Stability: Security and privacy are critical to data centers
- Incentives: Canadian government offers research grants, financing and tax
breaks for data centers in Canada
