Terenine Technology Solutions Becomes the First Tier III Design Certified Data Center in Tennessee

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn., Oct. 5 /PRNewswire/ -- Terenine (SM) Technology Solutions, a Chattanooga-based company, has been awarded the prestigious "Tier III Design Certification" from the Uptime Institute for the Terevault™ data center located at the Riverside Drive campus. This is the first data center in Tennessee to achieve this certification.

"We applaud Terenine for their commitment to a premiere level of service, as validated by their Tier III Design Certification. This award distinguishes Terenine among the claims of self-certified data center service providers, which are often inaccurate. And, it provides assurance to their existing and new clients that they are capable of delivering the highest levels of availability," said Julian Kudritkzi, Vice President, Uptime Institute.

A certified Tier III Data Center must meet stringent infrastructure requirements and all aspects of the center must be concurrently maintainable. This means there are no single points of failure. Every piece of equipment, from heating and cooling to IT equipment, has a back up and can be removed for maintenance or replacement without impact on services or facilities. Additionally, no annual shutdowns for routine maintenance are required.

The achievement is a significant investment on Terenine's part that enables maximum uptime, or availability, for customers. As businesses become more and more reliant on technology systems, business data storage and electronic commerce, the impact of downtime on a company can be a game changer in today's economic environment.

High availability is the primary consideration for businesses when choosing a data center for hosting, colocation, data storage and disaster recovery. Terenine consistently meets and exceeds availability requirements for Tier III certification.

"Our clients entrust their entire business to our data centers and it is mission critical that they operate undisrupted around the clock. That's why we chose to become Tier III certified by the Uptime Institute. Their certification program is the international standard for evaluating data center infrastructure performance," said John Shelley, Vice President of Managed Services.

"This is a significant milestone for Terenine and is an independent confirmation of our ability to deliver high quality technology services that meet and exceed today's most demanding industry standards. Existing and future customers can feel confident that we can deliver as advertised," said Ron Beaver, President of Terenine.

In addition to the Tier III certified data center, Terenine has two additional high-availability data centers at its Riverside Drive campus in Chattanooga. Terenine's website (www.terenine.com) has a video virtual tour that gives a rare look inside a Tier III facility.
