Al Rajhi Bank First Bank to Achieve Uptime Institute Tier IV Data Center Certification Award In All GCC Countries
Bank committed to best practices in mission critical operations for largest customer base in Saudi Arabia.
Al Rajhi Bank has announced the company has achieved a Tier IV Certification of Constructed Facilities (TCFF) certification from Uptime Institute for its facilities in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Al Rajhi Bank is the first to be awarded this certification in all of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries (Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Bahrain, Oman). The Uptime Institute Tier IV data center certification formally verifies that Al Rajhi Bank’s data center is consistent with the highest quality and infrastructure standards, in line with international best practices.
Uptime Institute’s Tier IV certification is the highest level of availability, performance and resilience that a data center can achieve, designed to support mission-critical operations. This includes Fault Tolerance, meaning that if an individual piece of equipment fails, or a distribution path interruption occurs, the effects of the event are stopped short and prevented from ever impacting critical IT operations. Operations are fine-tuned to ensure effective and seamless maintenance, operations and response to any fault.
