Escalation is the defined act of raising an incident or request to a higher support tier, more senior staff or a vendor when it cannot be resolved within agreed limits of skill, authority or time. Data center operations use an escalation matrix specifying who is contacted, at what severity and within what timeframe, ensuring critical issues reach decision-makers quickly.
