Entel received very good news: its Ciudad de los Valles datacenter is one of the few datacenters in the world and the only one in Latin America to have TIER IV Gold certification in Operational Sustainability, the maximum world reference granted by the Uptime Institute.
There are currently 1,579 datacenters worldwide validated by this global entity that certifies data centers in terms of design, construction and operation. Of this total, 14 datacenters have obtained TIER IV Gold certification and only 6 are oriented to provide services to third parties.
With this, Chile joins a select group of only four countries that have datacenters in the category of service providers with TIER IV Gold certification, together with Australia, the United States and Spain. These datacenters differentiate their operation from the data centers of banking institutions, telecommunications and government entities.
“Chile has the opportunity to be a relevant player in the technological future, taking advantage of the experience and strength of the Internet and telecommunications infrastructure that already exists. At Entel, we have worked efficiently to position ourselves as leaders in datacenter services at the national level, also helping to position the country as a pole of innovation”, said Julian San Martin, vice president of Entel Corporations.
This news is particularly important considering that, from daily operations, such as banking transactions or online shopping, to more complex services, such as management of Cloud platforms and SAP environments, or IT outsourcing, i.e. all processes that are carried out via the Internet, use data.
It is estimated that by 2025, around 463 billion gigabytes of data will be generated every day, and that number will only increase with the massification of the Internet of Things (IoT), expanding the demand for data processing and storage platforms, which generates an auspicious scenario for datacenters.
But what is a datacenter? A large infrastructure, with high quality hardware and servers, capable of storing, managing, monitoring, processing and securing massive amounts of information, allowing each of these operations and data to achieve their purpose.
What does it mean to be TIER IV?
This seal guarantees that the center meets the highest technical, design and sustainable operation requirements, capable of securing the data and the continuity of the digital business of its customers.
It also ensures that it has a level of excellence that guarantees an agile coordination between the people and systems in charge of implementing all the resilience and security processes, previously structured and solved, to face any eventuality that may compromise the operation, such as a natural disaster or major power outages, among others.
It is worth noting that the strength of Entel’s infrastructure was demonstrated in 2010, when despite the 8.8 earthquake that struck Chile, Ciudad de los Valles kept its operations fully operational.
With the TIER IV Gold seal in Operational Sustainability, the Entel datacenter in Ciudad de los Valles completes a meticulous certification process, which began with the TIER IV Design category and, subsequently, TIER IV Facility.
Entel has consolidated its position as the country’s largest datacenter services benchmark, with a network of five first-class data centers, ringed in fiber, fully backed up and interconnected with all its fixed and mobile telephony networks.
