TSI. Professional Data Center Training

TSI.PROFESSIONAL Data Center Training is conducted by TUV NORD (HQ Germany) in Singapore. Assessment and Certification according to EN 50600 and ISO/IEC 22237

Trusted Site Infrastructure (TSI), established in 2001, is a methodology for evaluation and certification of the physical security and availability of data centers. The basis of our method lies on the TSI.STANDARD criteria catalog developed by the TÜV NORD GROUP which is considering the requirements of the EN 50600 and ISO/IEC 22237.

With its different assessment areas, this takes a holistic approach that focuses on both the physical infrastructure as well as organizational processes and documentation of your data center.

The goal is to optimally secure your data center by implementing and fulfilling the various planning, organizational and technical requirements, thus ensuring the highest possible availability
