Data Center Certification
The data center is the infrastructure supporting the Application Ecosystem. It is the technology platform that ultimately delivers applications for organizations. Data centers house and protect the “data”, applications, and the computing resources necessary for the delivery of applications. IDCA’s data center audit ensures that the data center will be as safe, secure, efficient, reliable, capable, effective as the organization needs it to be.
5 Stack Layer Audit
Cloud Certification
Cloud is the modern requirement for robust application delivery. Whether public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, effective cloud implementation can be the key differentiator between the success and failure of an organization. IDCA cloud audit ensures that the sourced cloud infrastructure and services meet the IDCA benchmarks as well as the organization’s efficacy objectives.
