Data Center Navi Mumbai – Larsen & Toubro Limited’s colocation data center LNT NMP 1 in Panvel, Navi Mumbai has been certified tier III by the Uptime Institute.
A Tier III data center is concurrently maintainable with redundant components as a key differentiator, with redundant distribution paths to serve the critical environment. Unlike Tier I and Tier II, these facilities require no shutdowns when equipment needs maintenance or replacement.
The components of Tier III are added to Tier II components so that any part can be shut down without impacting IT operations.
“Pleased to announce that our first colocation Data Center – LNT NMP 1, Panvel, Navi Mumbai is now. Tier III Design certified by Uptime Institute. Happy to be part of your IT Modernisation & Digital Transformation Strategy. A big, heartfelt thank you to all who are part of this journey,” said Sudhir Mahajan, Vice President & Head Data Center in a LinkedIn post.
The scope involves the design, build, supply, installation, T&C works for the Data Center and allied buildings including fit-outs. The scope also includes systems such as the HVAC, elevators, electrical, fire fighting systems, public health engineering, networking & security systems, and building management systems.
