Washington, DC – November 12, 2024 – IDCA has announced the awarding of an official Systems, Design, Service (SDS) certification to Singapore-based Power Technologies Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS) Series and SenR Self-Power Wireless Temperature Sensor across IDCA's Grade Levels One through Four (G1-G4), enabling Power Technologies to offer the enhanced platform to its customers. This enables the industry stakeholders to feel confident in utilizing Power Technologies ATS and Temperature Sensor solutions within the mission critical industry, knowing that it has been through a thorough vetting process by IDCA and that it has successfully achieved its availability, capacity, efficiency, resilient, operations, innovation, safety & security objectives as intended, and can be applied to the full range of mission-critical digital infrastructure, data center, and cloud infrastructure.

“SDS audits cover complex system issues, design, and service requirements in the most rigorous of environments,” according to George Lim, CEO and Founder of Power Technologies. “By working with IDCA over the past months and now finally becoming certified, we can now assure our customers that we provide the certifications and audits that their operations and customers demand.”

IDCA's SDS certification process is built upon Grade Level certifications, which rate applications, platforms, compute, IT infrastructure, site facility infrastructure, site, and topology layers to identify risks, inefficiencies, vulnerabilities, and chances of failure within the application delivery stack and digital infrastructure ecosystem.

“The SDS certification is the benchmark for excellence for anyone that envisions to buy or sell within the mission critical environments," said IDCA Chief Certification Officer, Mark Gusakov. “The SDS Certification represents a complete risk elimination process, sustainability review, scalability and robustness, innovation, as well as reliability, safety and security of a particular System, Design, or Service.”

SDS Components Building upon G-levels as noted above, 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, according to IDCA.

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 evaluates and certifies 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.

“The certification of Power Technologies is a breakthrough for the ASEAN region and vendors who seek to offer excellence to our great community here in Singapore and beyond,” said Jessica Ho, IDCA Director for ASEAN.
