While we understand the importance of conducting data center audit, what are the two most important data center audits?
1. Data Center Design Validation (DCDV)
2. Data Center Facility Audit Services (DCFA)
What is Data Center Design Validation (DCDV)?
DCDV audit helps a data center operator or owner to validate their data Centre design which they have developed in-house, or through third-party consultants and/or suppliers.
The validation is conducted against applicable standards and expected redundancy levels. Data Center Design Validation is generally done before the procurement phase to ensure that everything is correctly designed and specified. DCDV can also be applied to renovation projects of existing data centers.
What is Data Center Facility Audit Services (DCFA)
The aim of DCFA is to review the physical implementation of the data center to ensure compliance to the standard chosen and to ensure proper workmanship. An experienced auditor will review on-site all the design documents and will review each area of the facility under scope. DCFA is valuable for both newly built data centers as well as data centers which have been operated for many years.
