Which of the following pertains to a macro level approach to data center design rather than the traditional tiered approach to data centers?

A.
IDCA
B. NFPA
C. BICSI
D. Uptime Institute

Correct Answer: A

Explanation:

Explanation: The standards put out by the International Data Center Authority (IDCA) have established the Infinity Paradigm, which is
intended to be a comprehensive data center design and operations framework. The Infinity Paradigm shifts away from many models that rely on tiered architecture for data centers, where each successive tier increases redundancy. Instead, it emphasizes data centers being approached at a macro level, without a specific and isolated focus on certain aspects to achieve tier status.
