Telecom­mu­ni­ca­tions gi­ant Dig­i­cel is cur­rent­ly com­plet­ing work on the largest da­ta cen­tre in T&T. The fa­cil­i­ty, which will be one of the largest in the Caribbean, will have an over­all ca­pac­i­ty of 200 racks and will sup­port SSAE SOC Type II and ISO27001 cer­ti­fi­ca­tion which fo­cus­es on the busi­ness process­es and the se­cu­ri­ty of the cus­tomer's da­ta.

ISO/IEC 27001 is the best-known stan­dard com­pared to the oth­ers and pro­vides re­quire­ments for an in­for­ma­tion se­cu­ri­ty man­age­ment sys­tem (ISMS).

Through the use of ISMS, a sys­tem­at­ic ap­proach to man­ag­ing sen­si­tive com­pa­ny in­for­ma­tion so that it re­mains se­cure, Dig­i­cel will be able to in­clude peo­ple, process­es and IT sys­tems by ap­ply­ing a risk man­age­ment process thus help­ing small, medi­um and large busi­ness­es in any sec­tor keep in­for­ma­tion as­sets se­cure.

When launched, the da­ta cen­tre will be con­cur­rent­ly main­tain­able, pro­vid­ing 99.982 per cent avail­abil­i­ty and re­quir­ing no shut­downs for equip­ment re­place­ment and main­te­nance. A re­dun­dant de­liv­ery path for pow­er and cool­ing will be added to the re­dun­dant crit­i­cal com­po­nents of Tier II so that each and every com­po­nent need­ed to sup­port the IT pro­cess­ing en­vi­ron­ment can be shut down and main­tained with­out im­pact on the IT op­er­a­tion.

The da­ta cen­tre will of­fer a full range of Cloud & Man­aged ser­vices, in­clud­ing off-site da­ta stor­age which can be backed-up on is­land or in one of their oth­er da­ta cen­tres across the Caribbean or a com­bi­na­tion of both.

Dis­as­ter Re­cov­ery as a Ser­vice (DRaaS) has been grow­ing at a fast rate and with the Caribbean wide high ca­pac­i­ty MPLS net­work Dig­i­cel will pro­vide di­verse, low la­ten­cy con­nec­tiv­i­ty off-is­land and repli­cate your in­fra­struc­ture and da­ta across their da­ta cen­tre lo­ca­tions.

Oth­er ser­vices to be of­fered in­clude In­fra­struc­ture as a Ser­vice (IaaS), Vir­tu­al Desk­top In­te­gra­tion (VDI), BY­OD, MS Of­fice 365 and Man­aged Se­cu­ri­ty.
