Data Center Cleaning Data Centers often house many racks of expensive servers and other equipment; maintaining a controlled environment and regular cleaning are vital to avoiding costly malfunctions and service calls. Dirt can plug up perforated air tiles reducing the output as well as A/C filters and cooling coils. It can get into the cooling vents on the individual pieces of equipment within the server cabinets which will lessen their ability to cool themselves. Over time, the accumulation of dust and dirt within the electronic equipment will lead to overheating and failure. Regular data center cleaning both above and below the raised floor not only improves its aesthetics, and energy efficiency, but also uptime.

A Standard For Cleanliness Data Centre Believe it or not, there is a standard for data center cleanliness. The ISO 14644 series of Standards (14644-1 to 14644-8) are a series of documents that establish various classifications for cleanliness as well as methods for testing compliance, test methods, design/ constructions/ startup considerations, and others. This ISO standard differs from another standard developed by the U.S. government called FS209E. The yardstick for measuring cleanliness is the amount of microscopic particles found per cubic meter of air. These particles range in size from 5μm (micrometre: a millionth of a meter) in diameter down to 0.1μm in diameter. Obviously, the larger the amount of large particles in an environment, the visibly dirtier the environment is. On the other hand, a small amount of very small particles means an extremely clean environment. The ISO 14644-1 standard sets up ISO classes from 1 through 9; ISO Class 1, for example, allows only ten0.1μm particles and two 0.2μm per cubic meter of air. Class 1 is the ultimate in cleanliness, a tremendously stringent standard that only highly controlled environments, such as clean rooms in microprocessor fabs, can achieve. Most data centers need to be kept clean so they meet ISO Class 8 or 9 standards. Class 8 allows 3.52 million 0.5μm particles per cubic meter, while Class 9 ramps up the 0.5μm particle size allowance by a factor of 10, up to 35.2 million particles per cubic meter of air.
