THE MANDATE SUMMARIZED

  • This is a very broad and all-encompassing definition.
  • All data centers that will ultimately fall into compliance are deemed 'tiered data centers'.
  • All data centers that do not comply are deemed 'non-tiered data centers'.
  • Non-tiered data centers will be phased out.
  • Ultimately it will leapfrog federal IT past commercial IT in energy savings.
