Chayora, an international digital infrastructure investor, developer and operator of hyperscale data centre campuses in China, has been awarded the Tier III Gold Certification of Operational Sustainability (TCOS)  for its Tianjin campus by Uptime Institute.

Uptime Institute’s Tier Standard: Operational Sustainability recognizes that Chayora’s Tianjin datacentre realized the full uptime potential of the Tier III installed infrastructure. The Gold Certification of Operational Sustainability is a points based assessment, when a data center group meets the basic requirements to keep their site operational across the defined ranges, they are awarded a Bronze TCOS. Sites that have anticipated a wider range of conditions or production possibilities planning to accommodate those situations when they occur can achieve either Silver or Gold based on how much above the minimum is scored. Chayora’s Tianjin site illustrated exceptional management & operations and building characteristic behaviours and low site risks were observed. Adherence to these behaviours and mitigation of site risks have been proven to minimize opportunities for human error – the number one cause of data centre downtime.

Chayora’s Tianjin and Shanghai campuses, when fully developed, will jointly provide capacity of more than 200MW of IT load and over 35,000 racks for customers.
