Constant Technologies is a mission critical systems integrator. But what exactly does mission critical mean, especially when it comes to you and your organization?

The term “mission critical” refers to something that is essential to the operations or even survival of a system or organization. The failure or interruption of mission critical activities has a significant impact on the operations of an organization. Operations that are vital to business, security, or safety all fall under the umbrella of this definition. In fact, the application of what exactly is “mission critical” is ever-expanding.

Mission critical systems are essential to the goal of an organization and cannot be interrupted. Every organization, no matter their focus, likely has something they would consider “mission critical.”

Some examples of mission critical command centers include:

While the specifics of a mission critical operations center are very particular based on the industry and the individual organization, there are common elements across the board.

Elements of a mission critical center include:

1. Continuous Operations

One of the key components of a mission critical command center is continuous operations. In many cases, the operation needs to be monitored and staffed 24×7. This constant use requires careful forethought in control room design to ensure that every element can withstand the rigors of mission critical rooms.

2. Redundancy and Reliability

Having redundant power and backup for your data is crucial in mission critical AV integration. Any interruption or potential loss of data could be detrimental to an organization’s operations. Having safeguards in place is standard for mission critical operations.

3. Real-time Data

Many command centers are in charge critical incident response and need to be aware of events as they occur.
