Before your Data Centre is cleaned, we will operate our “Airborne Dust Particle Counter“ to accurately measure the number of 0.5-micron particle contaminants per cubic meter of air. While cleaning your Data Centre environment, we will operate our “Hepa Air Scrubber” unit continuously, to filter out the high air particle contaminants. This helps bring your Data Centre environment to an ISO 14644-1 Class 8 Standard or lower. Our technicians are also equipped with “Anti-Static Microfiber Cloths” and customized “HEPA Filter Vacuums” with a filtration rating of 99.97% efficient down to 0.3 microns. This ensures that our precision cleaning will reduce even the smallest of particles that aren’t visible to the human eye but harmful to your equipment. Once the cleaning of your Data Centre is completed, we will operate our “Airborne Dust Particle Counter” to accurately measure the Room Temperature, Humidity and the “reduced” number of 0.5-micron particle contaminants per cubic meter of air. A detailed report will be forwarded on our findings.

• Our Team Leader will: review check in and out procedures with on-site contact, advise security we’re on-site and secure any access badges/passes required, by-pass required alarm systems before any service work commences, confirm which power outlets to use, review all areas to be precision cleaned, any special instructions we have made note of including “Red Flag” areas of concern, and any additional special instructions your staff contact may need to brief us on.

Most modern Data Centers are equipped with installed Raised Floor HPL Tiles, Coated Vinyl Flooring or Sealed Cement Slab Floors. Over time, dust, drywall dust, wire clippings, metal shavings, dirt, grime, debris, tape residue and scuff marks accumulate on the Surface Floor Area. Equipment failure is largely correlated to improper cleaning methods or poor maintenance.  If the “Airborne Dust Particle Count” is higher than recommended it will accumulate, contaminate your Surface Floor Equipment and reduce the effectiveness of the cooling system. Dust contamination has been shown to cause 70% of equipment breakdowns within IT environments. To reduce this risk of contamination, we recommend a Data Centre “Surface Floor” precision cleaning program every quarter with our customized “HEPA Filter Vacuums” and “Damp Mopping” to achieve an ISO 14644-1 Class 8  Standard.

Your equipment is the most important and valuable assets in a Data Centre.  This equipment includes and is not limited to Network Cabinets, Server Racks, PDUs, UPSs, CRAC Units and Wall Mounted Power Hardware. These highly sensitive units are very susceptible to the accumulation of airborne dust particles which have been shown to have prolonged negative effects on equipment operation. Most of these particles are smaller than 10 microns and are not visible to the naked eye. Equipment failure is largely correlated to improper cleaning methods or poor maintenance.  If the “Airborne Dust Particle Count” is higher than recommended it will accumulate, contaminate your Equipment and reduce the effectiveness of the cooling system. Dust contamination has been shown to cause 70% of equipment breakdowns within IT environments. To reduce this risk of contamination, we recommend a Data Centre “Equipment” precision cleaning program every quarter with our customized “HEPA Filter Vacuums” and “Anti-Static Microfiber Cloths” to achieve an ISO 14644-1 Class 8 Standard.

• Our Team Leader will: review check in and out procedures with on-site contact, advise security we’re on-site and secure any access badges/passes required, by-pass required alarm systems before any service work commences, sort out what power outlets we may have access to, go over all areas to be precision cleaned, any special instructions we have made note of including “Red Flag” areas of concern, and any additional special instructions your staff contact may need to brief us on.

The transition from a completed building site into a completed Data Centre requires comprehensive post construction precision cleaning by experienced professionals. We will eliminate dust, drywall dust, dirt, wire clipping, metal shavings, food and debris that accumulates’ over the course of the Data Centre construction project.  This precision cleaning process is essential for preparing the Data Centre Environment for IT equipment installation. Failing to do so will result in the Data Centre not being turned over to the existing or new client in a turn-key ISO 14644-1 Class 8  Standard condition and will affect the performance of the IT equipment for years to come.
