ANSI/TIA-942 requires a risk assessment–based approach to physical security; ballistic protection is not mandated but may be justified by threat analysis.

A is incomplete (it may still be required by risk).

Blast protection should be considered if the data center or its location is a potential target or is near high-risk areas. Blast protection measures can protect both personnel and infrastructure from potential explosion impacts, which could be essential in areas with heightened security risks.

Detailed Explanation:

In areas where there may be risks of terrorist attacks or explosions due to nearby high-risk facilities, implementing blast protection measures helps safeguard the data center's infrastructure. These measures can include reinforced walls, blast-resistant windows, and secure entryways designed to withstand explosive forces.

EPI Data Center Specialist References:

While not specifically mandated by ANSI/TIA-942, EPI training advises considering local risk factors, including proximity to potential targets, when evaluating the need for blast protection. This approach is aligned with risk assessment and mitigation practices to ensure facility security.

A Rated-4 facility requires dual active utility feeds, each from an independent substation, but they may come from the same utility provider if substations are geographically separate and independent.

Option A is too strict; ANSI/TIA-942 does not mandate two different companies.

Options C and D do not provide true independence and would fail Rated-4 requirements.

Thus, the minimum is two substations, possibly same provider.
