Workshops for Data Centers

The workshop as a foundation for testing and certifying physical security and availability

As part of a project-specific workshop, we give you an overview of the current security status of your data centre or that of your IT service providers. The workshop provides everything you need to know about the testing, evaluation and certification of data centre infrastructures based on standards and criteria catalogues such as TSI.STANDARD, EN 50600, ISO/IEC 22237.

Workshop objectives

The workshop provides clarity about the different standards or test specifications such as TSI, EN 50600 or ISO/IEC 22237 and their requirements for physical safety and availability. We go through the test procedures, assessment aspects and the requirements for different requirement levels (Level 1 to Level 4) associated with TÜV NORD's own TSI criteria catalogues(TSI.STANDARD or TSI.EN50600) in detail with the participants.

When it comes to the testing or certification of an existing data centre, participants receive an initial assessment of its certifiability following an inspection. We provide initial indications of deviations from the test criteria and existing documentation.

During the workshop, we answer any project-specific questions, discuss the next steps with the participants and provide material for further steps resulting from the workshop. By the end of the workshop, you will know what level your data centre is currently at.

We offer the workshop in person or remotely, perfectly tailored to your needs.

Overview of standards

TSI.STANDARD

Trusted Site Infrastructure (TSI) is a methodology for testing and certifying the physical security and availability of data centres that has been established since 2001. It has become the benchmark in the data centre industry. It is based on TÜV NORD's own TSI.STANDARD criteria catalogue.

EN 50600

The European data centre standard DIN EN 50600 uses a holistic approach to set comprehensive specifications for the planning, construction and operation of data centres.

ISO/IEC 22237

As the international equivalent to EN 50600, ISO/IEC 22237 creates the basic prerequisite for ensuring that data centres can be planned, built and operated according to the same principles worldwide.

FAQs about workshops for data centers

No, the workshop is optional for data centre certification. However, it offers you numerous advantages and optimally prepares you and your project team for an upcoming audit or certification.

No, with the help of the workshop you will arrive at the levels and availability classes applicable in your case based on the assessment of our experts.

EN 50600 and ISO/IEC 22237 already contain requirements for energy efficiency via the granularity level. The "EFF" suffix in TSI.STANDARD can also be used to check the PUE of your data centre.

For a comprehensive assessment of energy and resource efficiency, we recommend our maturity level certification in accordance with the TSE.STANDARD, for which we also offer workshops.

You will receive a compact overview of applicable standards, their application in practice and possible measures to improve your infrastructure. In addition, you will benefit from the exchange with TÜV NORD experts and strengthen the expertise in your company.

The workshop contains concrete examples, common pitfalls from previous projects and practical tips - in particular on server rooms, system structures and typical requirements in data centre operation.
