AWL India’s Path to Data Center Logistics

Data centres have become more crucial to the backbone of technology for businesses in the digital age. With the demand for advanced data centre logistics growing with secure data storage and processing capabilities for more companies, it is more imperative than ever. With this need in place, AWL India, one of the major players in logistics, continues to stride forward in filling this demand by providing services aligned and targeted at Tier III and Tier IV data centre clientele. This blog describes the strategic approach that AWL India takes, its services, and what the advanced tiers mean for businesses in today's era.

What are Tier III and Tier IV Data Centres?

Data centres can be broadly categorised into four tiers: reliability, redundancy, and uptime. Tier III and Tier IV are the peak levels—a maximum uptime with superior disaster recovery options.

Tier III Data Centres provide 99.982% uptime—only 1.6 hours of annual downtime. These data centres are fully redundant (N+1) and protected against any kind of power outage for up to 72 hours; hence, operations will never come to a grinding halt and work will be carried out uninterruptedly.

Tier IV Data Centres provide the most dependable service of all time, as they guarantee 99.995% uptime or only 0.4 hours of downtime in a year. Data centres are 100% redundant (2N) and can withstand a power outage of up to 96 hours.

These tiers are ideally suited for business ventures that require high availability with minimal interruption, such as banks, e-commerce sites, and international corporations.

Commitment to Advanced Data Centre Logistics at AWL India

AWL India gears up to their logistical requirements with high standards of Tier III and IV. When it comes to end-to-end support services, it provides secured movement of data boxes, forklifts, and other equipment critical to such advanced facilities. The company always makes efforts to provide safe, efficient, and reliable transportation that ensures equipment continues to run the data centre smoothly.

1. Movement and Tracking Data Boxes

AWL India has the most recent tracking systems within its premises for the safe and efficient movement of data boxes; therefore, each movement is well-monitored and secured. The system reduces the chances of losing data in Tier III and Tier IV data centres.

2. Specialised Forklift Services

Equipment is bulky and fragile; thus, it requires maximum accuracy and cautious transportation. AWL India has forklifts specifically designed to handle the equipment of a data centre. The forklifts are designed with minimal vibration so that the fragile parts inside the server or any other data centre asset are not harmed.

3. End-to-end logistics solutions

Besides this, an all-inclusive logistics service that involves the action of packaging, transport, offloading, and even installation of equipment is also provided by AWL India. With this end-to-end solution, the interference in the data centre operations can be avoided to a large extent. Even the flexible scheduling of installations that align with the client's operational hours saves them from minimal downtime.

Why is Advanced Logistics needed for Tier III and IV Data Centres?

Tier III and IV data centres have much higher logistics requirements as compared to lower-tier data centres. The following are the reasons why AWL India's specialised logistics have become indispensable for these high-tier centres:

Higher availability requirements:

In cases of uptime rates that stand above 99.9%, even the minutest delay or mishandling can be financially disastrous. AWL India precision logistics ensure that equipment arrives on time and that the risk of damage because of handling is kept at bay.

Redundancy and Disaster Recovery:

Tier III and IV centres emphasise redundancy, thus meaning that they have power sources and equipment as backups permanently. AWL India acknowledges the need for redundancy. For this reason, the company provides redundant logistical solutions to complement the requirements of these data centre infrastructures.

Security and Compliance:

When there is a desire to transfer sensitive data or equipment, they need to have robust security. AWL India Logistics ensures that every security requirement in place is followed to a T. Meaning that whenever equipment is transferred, it needs to be done by industry standards, and no unauthorised access to the equipment.

AWL India's Data Centre Logistics Sustainability Approach

Data centres are fast becoming a green showcase area of focus, especially considering that more power-intensive investments always go into tier-three and higher facilities. In this sense, at AWL India, sustainability is maintained by reducing the carbon footprint of data centre owners through the following methods:

AWL India adopts low-emission and high-fuel-efficiency vehicles, which results in lower adverse environmental impacts from the transport of equipment.

Environmentally Friendly Packaging Solutions:

Automation and robotics:

AWL India uses robotic solutions in managing equipment for installation in data centres to ensure greater precision in the placement and installation of equipment and a minimised chance for human error.

Predictive maintenance and IoT sensors:
