Data Center Audit Checklist for ACME Company

This document is a data center audit checklist that outlines the current status of the facility's infrastructure and security measures. It identifies that the facility is generally well-maintained, with strong environmental controls and housekeeping practices. However, it highlights three critical vulnerabilities that compromise the facility's high-availability status. These include the lack of concurrently maintainable power, which prevents maintenance without downtime, the absence of diverse network entry points that creates a single point of failure for connectivity, and the lack of mantraps at entry points, exposing the data hall to tailgating risks. The document emphasizes the importance of addressing these vulnerabilities to meet Tier III standards, as all other operational strengths are secondary to these significant risks. The checklist includes various sections such as power, cooling, network connectivity, compliance, security, scalability, and more, providing a comprehensive evaluation of the facility's capabilities and potential areas for improvement.
