ANSI/TIA-942 is a popular standard for data centers to ensure uptime and standardize physical infrastructure. The ANSI/TIA-942 standard covers the telecommunications infrastructure and other physical aspects of the mission-critical data center, such as the site location, architecture, electrical and mechanical systems, fire safety and security. The certification applies to any size data center or modular data center product, including single-tenant enterprise data centers and multi-tenant internet hosting data centers.

Data centers can achieve two different types of certification: Data Center Design Validation (DCDV) and Data Center Conformity Certification (DCCC).

An ANSI/TIA-942 certification helps an organization demonstrate to both internal and external end users that its data center is independently audited to meet an international standard for resilience and reliability.
