On March 6, 2024, the Sinnet Fangshan Cloud Computing Center was officially awarded the Uptime Institute M&O certification in a grand ceremony held at the center. The M&O certification, presented by the Business Director of Uptime Institute North China, marks a significant achievement for the center and reflects its exceptional operation and maintenance standards.

Cao Kejiang, General Manager of Sinnet’s Operation and Maintenance Center, represented the company at the ceremony. The director of the Uptime Institute commended the Fangshan Cloud Computing Center for its outstanding performance, recognizing its advanced and professional approach to data center operations. The center earned the M&O certification on its first attempt, underscoring the excellence of its operation and maintenance management system. This accomplishment demonstrates that Sinnet’s data center operations meet internationally recognized standards.

Following the awarding ceremony, representatives from both Uptime Institute and Sinnet engaged in discussions regarding potential future collaborations in data center technology and certification. They agreed to pursue deeper cooperation in areas such as data center standards, international seminars, and system certifications, with the aim of advancing the development and improvement of China’s data center industry and its standards.

The Uptime Institute is a globally respected authority on data center standards, and its certifications are among the most recognized and authoritative in the industry. The Uptime M&O certification, specifically, is a professional certification for the standardized operation and maintenance of data center infrastructure. It is regarded as the top international standard for data center management. The certification process is rigorous, and only a select few data centers in China have received this distinction.

As a leading full-stack infrastructure service provider, Sinnet is committed to delivering high-quality operation and maintenance services. The company’s use of the ITILV3 service lifecycle model and ISO20000 international standards, combined with years of practical experience, has enabled it to build a comprehensive, standardized operation and maintenance system. This system, built around standard design, operational practice, and continuous improvement, ensures high-quality service delivery.

In preparation for the M&O certification, Sinnet established a dedicated project team in the summer of 2023. Over the next six months, the team collaborated with auditors to conduct an in-depth review across five key areas: staff configuration, operations and maintenance, process management, training, and operation quality management. With its robust operation and maintenance system, the Fangshan Cloud Computing Center passed the rigorous review with excellent results.

The Fangshan Cloud Computing Center, located in Beijing, is a large-scale, customized data center park designed, built, and operated by Sinnet. It has already earned the national A-level data center certificate from the China Quality Certification Center (CQC). With the Uptime Institute M&O certification, the center is recognized for its industry-leading standards in infrastructure planning, design, and operation management.

Sinnet views this certification as an opportunity to further enhance the operational capabilities of its data centers. The company remains committed to providing customers with comprehensive, high-quality data center solutions that combine top-tier infrastructure with expert-led operation and maintenance services. This commitment will help companies achieve high-quality development in the digital economy.
