Eradeh Power Signs Agreement with IDCA for SDS Data Center Audits
Washington, DC – January 9, 2024 – Eradeh Power Consulting has reached an agreement to conduct IDCA SDS (System, Design, Service) audits and certifications, which integrate and extend IDCA's Grade-Level (G-Level) certifications, to rate applications, platforms, IT systems, sites, and topology layers.
"The International Data Center Authority (IDCA) certification represents a strategic differentiator for Eradeh Power, validating our commitment to operational excellence," said Nina Sadighi, PE SMIEEE, Founder of Eradeh Power. "This certification provides a comprehensive framework that guides our implementation of advanced technologies while demonstrating our adherence to global standards in data center operations.”
“SDS audits cover complex system issues, design, and service requirements in the most rigorous of environments,” according to Rich Banta, DCA®, Chief Technical Officer of IDCA. “IDCA’s effort will be targeted on vetting Eradeh Power’s true service delivery claims and ensuring that their customers will fully benefit from their services, as advertised.”
"Eradeh Power is an innovator in digital infrastructure, specializing in power quality, feasibility studies, process optimization, and utility reliability solutions," said Mark Gusakov, Chief Certification Officer of IDCA. "As the global digital economy expands rapidly, Eradeh Power's expertise in operational and facility resiliency, energy management and power quality—from design through operations—is essential for modern data center facilities. IDCA is proud to support Eradeh Power as they work to support our growing digital economy."
The System component of an SDS audit evaluates and certifies tools, systems, components and technologies across the application ecosystem from software applications to virtual and physical IT infrastructure, site, and facility infrastructure equipment.
The Design component offers design, concept, and architecture certification routes for complex systems, tools, software, and infrastructure across the application, compute, platform, IT infrastructure, site facility infrastructure, site, and topology.
The Service component incorporates IDCA Grade-level (G-level) certifications, while evaluating and certifying service delivery, operations, management, and maintenance certification for quality, reliability, security, efficiency, safety, and effectiveness of such services across the application, compute, platform, IT infrastructure, site facility infrastructure, site, and topology. G levels span a range from Grade Level Zero (certifying the lowest risk) to Grade Level Four to certify risk, inefficiencies, vulnerabilities, and chances of failure within data center facilities and complexes.
“Through IDCA certification, we ensure maximum reliability, enhanced technical competency, and independently verified quality assurance—delivering tangible value to our clients through future-ready infrastructure and industry-leading best practices,” Sadighi concluded.
