At the heart of EPI’s philosophy is the understanding that a data centre is fundamentally about trust. Users depend on data centres with the assurance that their IT systems and applications will always be available, that their data is secure, and that the data centre will consistently perform as expected. Trust in a data centre is built on three vital foundations, which we refer to as the "Three Ps"

The first "P" refers to the Product—the data centre infrastructure itself. Mission-critical data centres require a robust and resilient physical infrastructure, typically based on standards such as TIA-942 and ISO 22237, to support the businesses that rely on them.

Once the infrastructure is in place, the second "P" Processes, takes center stage. Well-defined processes are crucial for managing this infrastructure efficiently and ensuring it consistently operates at optimal performance.

The third "P" People, is equally critical. Competent and well-trained staff are essential for executing these processes and upholding high standards of resilience, availability, security, and performance.

The EPI organization and our suite of services are designed to reinforce these three foundations for our customers.
