Choosing between the best of the best is no easy task, but that’s exactly what the Top Tier Product Awards is all about — recognizing manufacturing excellence in mission critical equipment that embraces safety, energy efficiency, and innovative solutions to ensure reliable uptime for the data centers of today and tomorrow. Categories include everything from power systems to the racks they support and the cables that connect them. The eight winning products were selected by a panel of third-party judges who scored each entry based on scalability, reliability, size, and other notable features. Seven manufacturers stepped into the inaugural winner’s circle, and, together, they are raising the bar when it comes to mission critical equipment and what to expect.
