Server room clean-ups and installations

Server rooms provide a central organizational point for managing network server resources, keeping the equipment neatly stacked and safe. Server rooms store, power, and operate servers and associated hardware in simpler terms, typically serving as parts of larger data centres. Server rooms are necessary for businesses, storing essential technological equipment, keeping the data safe, and monitoring and physical access to key employees.

If your server hardware and network appliances are stacked on a desk or a shelf, it’s time to change. Your business needs and deserves a server room that’s secure, organized and scalable. Additionally, server room setups are purposefully designed to protect your equipment from overheating malfunctions and unauthorized entries.

The advantages of server rooms are valuable for any organization, from small businesses, retail stores, bars and restaurants to public sector institutions, industrial operations, and large enterprises. If your business needs to preserve and access valuable data on more than one server, it’s time to contact the experts and start planning your server room project.

Our services include asset tagging, components labelling, server room configuration, and server room clean-ups. While planning your server room space, we’ll consider all relevant aspects, so you can easily locate your equipment, access cabling, and get better airflow on less square footage. We provide everything from racks and cooling hardware to cabling and access control.

To set up a functional and secure server room, you need isolated premises, power supply access, flame and water protection, access authorization, video surveillance, positive pressure airlocks, and documentation control. The communications room should ideally be a restricted-access area protected by code or access control.

Server rooms typically include cooling, aisle containment, UPS apparatus, cooling and power systems, power distribution, monitoring, cable management, servers, switches, and fire protection system. The server room should not be used for general storage or as a general office area.

The server room should be enclosed by a four-sided concrete wall and a fire-resistant door. Ideally, the room should be positioned in the middle of your office space. This setup is optimal because it reduces the number of cables and lowers the wiring costs. Building a server room in a space with no external windows is recommended.

According to ANSI/TIA-569-D regulations, communication room ceiling height should be a minimum of 2,400 mm with no obstructions, with overhead containment having a minimum of 200 mm clearance from the ceiling. The floor should be solid, with an access door hanging outwards at least 900 mm wide and 2,000 mm high.
