Tier IV: more than just a unique certificate

Why Tier IV makes a difference for IT integrators 

Tier IV is not just a label – it is the highest level of reliability according to the international standard of the Uptime Institute. A Tier IV data center is fully redundant: power supply, cooling, connectivity, and access systems are duplicated or even triplicated. That means no single point of failure. This means you can guarantee your customers 99.999% uptime, or less than 5 minutes of unplanned downtime per year. 

For you as an IT integrator, this offers not only technical security, but also commercial clout. You can confidently guarantee that your services – from managed hosting to cloud solutions and business continuity – are always available. In sectors such as financial services, biotech, or healthcare, this is not an advantage, but a real “must.” 

Infrastructural continuity is not a side issue 

Today's digital supply chain is vulnerable. The consequences of downtime go beyond operational disruptions – they damage reputations, erode customer confidence, and compromise compliance. That is why Datacenter United offers redundancy at every level, including 2N power supply, separate cooling circuits, and real-time monitoring of all critical systems.

We don't limit ourselves to technical performance. We offer insightful KPI dashboards, compliance reports (ISO 9001, 14001, 27001) and direct access to our support team. Your teams don't have to focus on the infrastructure – we take care of that. You can devote all your attention to creating value for your customers. 

Local presence, national coverage 

Our infrastructure is distributed across 16 data centers in 13 locations throughout Belgium. This geographical spread enables IT integrators to optimize latency, set up regional fallback strategies, and offer specific SLAs per sector or customer type. Whether you serve a bank in Brussels, a biotech company in Ghent, or a healthcare institution in Hasselt, you can always rely on a locally anchored, strategically placed backbone. 

Our local presence also ensures direct support: no queues at international call centers, but experts available 24/7 to help you in your own language. Our engineers are physically present on site – ready to step in at any time via our Remote Hands & Eyes service. 

In tenders, RFPs, and compliance audits, infrastructure certification is often decisive. With Tier IV and additional certifications (such as PCI DSS, NIS2 readiness, and GDPR-compliant data processing), IT integrators can distinguish themselves in competitive processes. You offer your customers more than just a service: you offer them security, predictability, and risk management. 

For partners who go beyond standard hosting, Datacenter United offers access to an ecosystem of carriers, cloud providers, network specialists, and software suppliers. These ecosystems strengthen your offering without lock-in: we are 100% carrier-neutral and completely independent of public cloud players. 

From technology partner to strategic extension 

The role of the IT integrator is evolving. Customers expect not only technical implementation, but also strategic guidance in their digital transformation. That means proactive advice, risk mitigation, and sustainability integration. 

Datacenter United is your partner in that journey. We offer more than colocation; we offer a growth platform. Thanks to our scalable data floors, modular energy solutions, and direct cloud connectivity, you are ready for new technologies such as edge computing, AI workloads, machine learning, and AR applications.

Close your deal with the right partner

Your value as an IT integrator is partly determined by the strength of your underlying infrastructure. With Datacenter United, you are choosing a partner that strengthens your offering, reduces your risks, and increases your effectiveness.

In a world where no one wants to compromise on uptime, we provide the backbone you can build on with confidence.
