Bangladesh Army (TIER III

Certified; TCDD & TCCF)

The Bangladesh Army has made a significant leap forward in strengthening its IT infrastructure with the establishment of a cutting-edge Data Center, designed to meet the highest global standards of performance, reliability, and security. This facility has been certified with TIER III standards, ensuring the Army’s ability to support its critical operations with continuous, secure, and efficient data management. Additionally, the data center has been awarded both TCDD (Tier Certification of Design Documents) and TCCF (Tier Certification of Constructed Facility), further validating its top-tier status in terms of design and construction quality.

Rack Capacity Overview

The 16-rack capacity of the Bangladesh Army’s data center is a key feature, providing the infrastructure necessary to manage large volumes of data generated by various operations. Each of these racks is engineered to support high-density equipment, offering powerful computing resources and storage capabilities. This scalable design not only meets current demands but is also future-ready, ensuring the facility can handle increased data loads as the Army’s digital needs evolve.

TIER III Certification

The TIER III certification signifies that the Bangladesh Army’s data center has been designed and built with fault tolerance and redundancy, offering an operational uptime of 99.982%. This certification ensures that the facility can maintain continuous service even in the face of hardware failures, power outages, or other disruptions. For the Army, this level of reliability is crucial, as it ensures mission-critical applications and communication systems are always online and available, regardless of external challenges.

TCDD - Tier Certification of Design Documents

The TCDD certification focuses on the design phase of the data center, ensuring that all architectural, electrical, mechanical, and safety considerations align with the rigorous standards set for a TIER III facility. Achieving TCDD certification means that the Bangladesh Army’s data center design adheres to the highest industry best practices for performance, security, and sustainability. This certification validates that the facility’s blueprint is capable of supporting its operational requirements with scalability and resilience.

TCCF - Tier Certification of Constructed Facility

The TCCFcertification applies to the construction phase and confirms that the actual built facility matches the approved design documents and meets the TIER III standards in practice. The TCCF certification ensures that the physical infrastructure—such as power supply, cooling systems, and network connectivity—is robust, reliable, and capable of handling the Army’s mission-critical tasks. This certification underscores the facility’s operational readiness and assures that the constructed data center is as secure and resilient as the design intended.

Scalability and Future-Proofing

With 16 rack units installed and a TIER III-certified infrastructure, the Bangladesh Army’s data center is built to scale. As the demand for data storage and processing grows, the facility is designed to accommodate additional racks and technologies without compromising performance or security. This scalability ensures that the Army’s data center can evolve alongside advancements in technology, including the integration of cloud computing, artificial intelligence (AI), and advanced analytics capabilities for future defense needs.
