Accredited Tier Designer

Uptime Institute Curriculum Exclusively Designed for


Engineering Community
The Accredited Tier Designer (ATD) is a technically focused curriculum for the further
education of the individuals responsible for data center design. ATD will provide design
professionals with the technical Tier clarity to respond to their clients’ Tier mandates and
reduce lost efforts in doing so.
As the Uptime Institute’s Tier Classification System continues to provide the international
language of data center functionality and availability, owners consistently specify Tier
goals in requirements documents and contracts.

While data investment balloons, so does the consequences of non-compliance or a shortfall in


life-cycle usefulness. Can you afford a misstep in a current design project? What will it cost in
terms of re-design, penalties, diminished reputation, lost marketshare?
Furthermore, ATD is another means provided by the Uptime Institute for data center owners to protect their significant project
investment. ATD is an at-a-glance tool for owners to differentiate design firms in a highly competitive and dynamic marketplace. Years
in business, market presence, and annual revenue do not directly translate to the capability to develop Tier compliant solutions. ATD
informs and empowers owners in the selection of the right team.
