Montréal, November 9, 2017 – After earning Tier III Certification of Design Documents, the 4Degrees data centers in Montréal and Québec City have added the coveted Tier III Certification of Constructed Facility to the numerous distinctions they hold. This certification from the independent Uptime Institute, the global authority on data center design, provides assurance of fail proof service at all times. 4Degrees is now one of the few players in Canada to have acquired this superior seal of quality for both the design and construction of its facilities.
Today's hyperconnected world generates huge amounts of data. Companies are looking for a reliable and extremely secure partner to host their servers. In this highly competitive environment, 4Degrees has made a name for itself as a hosting solution that meets the highest standards.
According to Jean Novak, President of Videotron Business Solutions, "Customer satisfaction and reliability are top priorities for us. Tier III certification provides our customers with an added assurance of business continuity. It also means 4Degrees data centers have joined the ranks of the major international players that meet the industry's most stringent standards."
Tier III Certification of Constructed Facility, which is awarded only after rigorous testing of mechanical, electrical and structural elements under real-world conditions, is the international gold standard for continuous uptime outside of the military sector. It gives customers the firmest assurance that facilities have been built in accordance with design documents and that they fully meet uptime and performance requirements.
4Degrees - just like being there
In addition to its data hosting innovations, 4Degrees uses cutting-edge technology to market its services. No matter where they may be on the planet, current and potential 4Degrees clients can check out its unmatched custom-built data centers through a new virtual tour. Professional 6K 360° cameras were used to record images of the facilities (server rooms, meeting areas, etc.) to create a unique virtual reality (VR) video. Data hosting specialists can now just put on a VR headset and have a 4Degrees immersive experience.
