At the core of EPI’s philosophy is the belief that a reliable data center is built on trust. Businesses depend on data centers to ensure continuous availability of IT systems, robust data security, and consistent operational performance.
This trust is founded on three key pillars, known as the "Three P's":
Efficient and well-defined processes are crucial for managing data center operations. We offer runbook development, operational assessments, audits, and certifications based on the Data Center Operations Standard (DCOS®), supporting operational excellence and reliability.
DCOS® – Data Center Operations Standard
The mission critical infrastructure of a data center must be robust and resilient, certified against leading standards such as ANSI/TIA-942, ISO/IEC 22237, and EN 50600. Our services include assessment, design validation, and facility certification is compliant to international standards.
Competent and well-trained staff are essential for maintaining high standards of resilience, availability, and security. Our accredited training and certification programs cover all aspects of data center design, build, operations, migration, risk management, and compliance.
