Defining the Tiers
A site that can sustain at least one “unplanned” worst-case site infrastructure failure with no critical load impact is considered fault tolerant. A site that is able to perform planned site infrastructure activity without shutting down critical load is concurrently maintainable (fault tolerance level may be reduced during concurrent maintenance). It is important to remember that a typical data center site is composed of at least twenty major mechanical, electrical, fire protection, security and other systems, each of which has additional subsystems and components. All of these must be concurrently maintainable and/or fault tolerant for the entire site to be considered concurrently maintainable and/or fault tolerant.

Tier I Single path for power and cooling distribution, no redundant components, 99.671% availability.

Tier II Single path for power and cooling distribution, redundant components, 99.741% availability.

Tier III Multiple power and cooling distribution paths, but only one path active, redundant components, concurrently maintainable, 99.982% availability.

• Tier IV Multiple active power and cooling distribution paths, redundant components, fault tolerant, 99.995% availability.
