Digital Realty Trust reports it also achieved "five 9s" of uptime in its Turn-Key Datacenters for the fourth consecutive year with 99.999% availability during 2010. These uptime metrics are based on a comprehensive evaluation of the company's facilities worldwide using standard industry methodology.
"This award from FM Global and the track record of five 9s uptime in our Turn-Key Datacenter facilities are a direct result of how well our data centers are designed, built and operated," said Dave Caron, Senior Vice President, Portfolio Management at Digital Realty. "We now have nearly one hundred properties around the world, including nearly 3.5 million square feet of Turn-Key Datacenter space. The consistently high uptime metrics we have achieved validate our standards-based approach to constructing and running data centers, which have been so successful in delivering solutions that ensure reliability for our customers."
Each Digital Realty Turn-Key Datacenter facility is physically secure and features a state-of-the-art power and cooling architecture that has been optimized for green operation. Every Turn-Key Datacenter is built using Digital Realty's proprietary POD Architecture and uses metered power to ensure that clients pay only for the power that they use. The facility also comes standard with Digital Realty's PowerVU software, which enables centralized monitoring and management of data center power consumption, energy efficiency and load analysis.
