IO, the leading provider of next-generationmodular data center technology for the world’s largest enterprises, governments and service providers, today announced the expansion and Tier III Design Certification of IO New Jersey Phase Two.
With the only Tier III-designed commercial data center available in the New York City metropolitan area that is also 100 percent modular, IO has experienced unprecedented customer growth in the past year.

“Modular data center deployments have doubled over 2011. As more companies are considering modular as part of their strategic data center initiatives, it’s more important than ever to consider Tier III Design Certification as part of your decision-making process,” said Julian Kudritzki, Vice President, Uptime Institute. “Tier III signifies a design solution that is capable of responding to a 24×7 performance objective – without shutdowns for equipment work or replacement.”
“The data center industry is experiencing a shift from large real estate-based infrastructures to flexible and sustainable installations,” said Andreas Zoll, Vice President of Engineering and Product Development, IO. “The growth we’re seeing in New Jersey is validation that customers are attracted to the Data Center 2.0 strategy to experience greater capital savings, operation efficiencies and energy conservation. The additional Tier III Certification provides further assurance for our growing enterprise customer base that we adhere to industry standards.”
