Specially Designed Raised Computer Floors Protect Vital Equipment
by Iva Cannon
Computers, in computer rooms, represent an expense that must be protected. You can just set a bunch of computers in an ordinary room and go to work, however, they will, fairly quickly, become ineffective. This is because they are subject to dust and dirt, in a normal room, and also something else that will damage them and the data they contain. The <A href="http://technologysupportsystemsinc.com">raised computer floors</A> help to protect this vital equipment.
All of the data that is stored and being manipulated on these computers, have to do with delicate things within the company. There is information, such as personnel records and client information that must be kept secured. A lot of that security is in programs to prevent hacking, however, other protections must be in place to preserve their physical state. The flooring, under them help in this regard.
Computers will actually slow down and can shut off if they are allowed to heat up to a certain point. This slowness, when the operators are trying to use them, will make it harder for them to get the information they need when they need it. Much of this data, if the computers turn off, can be lost. This is often the case because the back ups are usually in the same room, although on another hard drive.
What makes these floors so special is the way they are set up. They are raised from the standard sub floor by about one to three feet. This spaces allows the trunk lines that carry the data from point to point and all electrical connectors to be placed in here. The panels that make up the floor you walk on are perforated to permit airflow from one space to another. The chillers, located in another room, will be run through this space to keep all of the electronics cool.
The square panels each have a socket on each of the four corners. These sockets fit over a post fitted onto a stanchion that keeps it all off of the sub floor. They are held firm because of the tight fitting nature of these sockets. If they did not fit properly, the entire system would allow for shifting or swaying which would damage the whole floor. The space can be accessed by lifting a panel or two.
The engineering that goes into each panel and stanchion is an exacting science. The entire room is measured and the number of panels, based on the general size of each, is determined. The runs, or rows of panels are established, starting with the exact center panel and each next one is trimmed to align with one before it. If more than six to eight are removed, at the same time, the entire room may have to be reset. This is a costly project and people who routinely enter the floor work hard not to allow that to happen.
One of the most often performed tasks under these floors is the cleaning. This is done by specially trained personnel who have specific procedures for this. They will lift one panel, with a special tool that is inserted into a perforation. They do the cleaning with vacuum wands and or special cloths.
This special flooring works the way they are supposed to because people, within the room, maintain the proper protocols. These protocols include reducing the amount of unnecessary material brought into the room. It works because it is designed to take advantage of several scientific principles dealing with airflow and cooling.
