Introduction

The new release of the TIA-942 has many great improvements. Other webinars have addressed the changes to the network chapters. But what about all the other important chapters? This webinar will address changes made to the Rating (a.k.a. Tier) system as well as other non-network related changes.  It will cover the important updates critical to those who design, build, and own/operate data centres. 

The speaker, Edward van Leent, Chairman & CEO of EPI Group of Companies, is a long-standing TIA-942 committee member and active contributor.  He is a highly experienced data centre veteran with over 30 years of experience and has personally audited and overseen the audits of hundreds of data centres all over the world.
