Uptime Institute

Scott Data Center is the first data center in Nebraska to achieve the Uptime Institute’s Tier 3 Certification.

The Uptime Institute conducted an independent third party review of Scott Data Center’s design drawings which includes the addition of 20 megawatts of power and cooling capability to its existing infrastructure.  With this expansion, Scott Data Center will be able to power and cool server densities exceeding 200 watts per square foot across its entire raised floor environment.

The Uptime Institute assesses data center reliability through a tiered ranking system.  Tier 3 certification, which Scott Data Center has been awarded, is obtained when multiple power and cooling paths are added and a large stride in reducing downtime has occurred.
