You may have noticed the special flooring that is under the massive number of computers setting in the computer room at work. These are designed for a specific purpose. This type of flooring is too expensive to install in just any room, however, the computers, and the data they hold is much more important than other things in other rooms. That is why the raised computer floors are critical for them.
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.
One of the very dangerous things that can harm computers is heat. They can be impacted by dust and dirt and the room, itself, helps deter this, however, heat can damage these electronic items in various ways. As they get hot, they can start to slow down. As it gets hotter, they will also shut down. When that happens, all data is lost and they become just piles of useless electronics.
These special floors are raised from the sub floor by as much as one to three feet. All of the trunk lines and electrical wiring are run in these spaces. The floor, that you walk on, are actually perforated panels that permit the flow of cooled air from one space to the other. The cooling or, actually chilling systems are also run through this space keeping everything cool.
These panels are setting on stanchions, mounted to the sub floor. Each panel has a socket on each corner that fit over a post on the stanchion. This holds them as firm as possible but will still allow them to be removed as necessary for maintenance or cleaning. Each panel is created for that particular place in the room.
Each panel of this flooring is designed specifically for that particular space, when it is originally installed. The room is measured and, just like in installing tiles in your kitchen, the exact center is located. Each panel is then trimmed to ensure it fits in the proper place already drawn in on the plans. During entry into this space, if more than six or eight are removed at the same time, a swaying of the floor is possible which is dangerous for the rest of the room.
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 space allows for those things that help the computers function. That is the protection from dust, dirt and heat. If the cooling system is installed above this flooring, all operators will have to wear winter clothing. This would impact their effectiveness while working with these electronic marvels the world can not do without, any more.
