Even a perfectly designed data center will require continued maintenance. An effective cleaning schedule must consist of specially designed short−term and long−term actions.
These can be summarized as follows:
Frequency | Task |
Daily Actions | Rubbish removed |
Weekly Actions | Access floor maintenance (vacuum and damp mop) |
Quarterly Actions | Hardware decontamination and room surface decontamination |
Bi−Annual Actions | Subfloor void decontamination and air conditioner decontamination (as necessary) |
