ANSI TIA-942 (Telecommunications Infrastructure Standard for Data Centers)

The Telecommunications Industry Association's TIA-942 Telecommunications Infrastructure Standard for Data Centers is an American National Standard that specifies the minimum requirements for telecommunications infrastructure of data centers and computer rooms including single tenant enterprise data centers and multi-tenant Internet hosting data centers. The topology proposed in the standard was intended to be applicable to any size data center. The standard was first published in 2005, following on the structured cabling work defined in TIA/EIA-568, and is often cited by companies such as ADC Telecommunications and Cisco Systems. The standard was updated with an addendum ANSI/TIA-942-A-1 in April 2013 from the TR-42.1 engineering subcommittee.

The TIA-942 specification references private and public domain data centre requirements for applications and procedures such as:

• Network architecture
• Electrical design
• File storage, backup and archiving
• System redundancy
• Network access control and security
• Database management
• Web hosting
• Application hosting
• Content distribution
• Environmental control
• Protection against physical hazards (fire, flood, windstorm)
• Power management
