Techeyon Computer Services (TCS)specialists in Data Centre “Environmental IT Services.”

With constant movement of staff, equipment and supplies throughout a computer operations area, it is inevitable that the room becomes contaminated, due to the natural introduction of dust, dirt and debris.

If uncontrolled, this contamination can become a problem to the trouble-free operation of the system by causing errors, malfunctions and eventually costly down time. These contaminants over time, find their way into most parts of the media subsystem and media. Contamination may not show an immediate effect upon the performance of data but will penetrate and accumulate silently until it does.

Sun Microsystems, in their best practices guide, recommends that Computer Rooms are cleaning on a six monthly cycle.

These contaminants must be removed by a company that is experienced in this specialist field, as incorrect dust control can disturb these contaminants, releasing them into the voids (causing the very problems that you are attempting to cure). HEPA filters must be used to remove contaminants as small as .3 micron (66 times smaller than a typical zinc whisker).All of our computer room services are tailor made to individual companies requirements.

All Services are supervised on site by a fully certified Comptia A+ technician. All units are fully checked on completion of service. All works standardized to comply with ISO 14644-1 Part

Cleanrooms and associated controlled environments, ISO 14644-1 Part 1: Classification of air cleanliness(excerpt from introduction).

Cleanrooms and associated controlled environments provide for the control of airborne particulate contamination to levels appropriate for accomplishing contamination-sensitive activities. Products and processes that benefit from the control of airborne contamination include those in such industries as aerospace, microelectronics, pharmaceuticals, medical devices, food, and healthcare.This part of ISO 14644 assigns ISO classification levels to be used for the specification of air cleanliness in cleanrooms and associated controlled environments. It also prescribes the standard method of testing as well as the procedure for determining the concentration of airborne particles.

Raised floor voids should be cleaned regularily to stop dust migrating to the servers and control equipment. Desco and ACL anti static fluids are used to ensure optimum service is delivered.

It is via forced air from the A/C that the majority of dust is circulated around the room, eventually migrating to the servers and other Kit.

Raised Floors

Contamination by dust dirt and debris will migrate throughout the sub floor and ceiling voids via the air conditioning.

It is of paramount importance that dust is not allowed to enter the control equipment, where it can cause system failures due to fans, boards and components being covered in a blanket of dust.

Keeping cabinets dust free is an important step to help ensure optimum working conditions for server, switch and other Kit enclosed.

Other Relevant Areas In a Data Centre

A complete wall to ceiling service will ensure that dust is kept to a minimum in the room.

A regular service may save thousands of dollars in the long run.

Be proactive not reactive

Floor Surface Treatment

An additional treatment with Desco Statguard® Static Dissipative Cross-Linked Floor Finish will dissipate static charges as well as limit static charge generation charges. It also provides a high gloss finish that resists wear and lasts 12 months or longer.

Statguard® technology eliminates the need for static control tile or floor mats. It is ideal for clean room and electronic manufacturing, assembly, and test areas. It also ensures the floor is a safe walking surface (slip resistance) under UL Classification.

The floor surface is a magnet for dust and debris. Keeping the visible surfaces clean is another crucial area that should be kept in prestine condition

Environmental Dust Control

Approximately 80% of dust and dirt that enters food preparation and storage areas does so on the soles of feet of staff and customers(Source: 3M) 10% is carried by carts, boxes, produce and sundries entering the room. The remaining 10% is airbourne particulates.

The contamination control tiles situated at the entrance storage rooms Etc (pictured above), prevent up to 90% of dust and dirt from entering the room at ground level. When installed and maintained properly, the contamination control tile provides important benefits such as:

• Reduction in the amount of dirt and debris entering the room / area. • Collects and retains contamination over a range of particle sizes from 2 to 10 microns• Removed particles are contained within the mat not allowing them to become airborne.Stop dirt at the door with a Techeyon Contamination Control Mat. Also referred to as sticky/ tacky mats because the surface traps dirt as foot traffic or wheels pass over the tacky surface of the mat.

Quality adhesive coating ensures maximum performance on each sticky mat sheet. Peel off daily to expose a fresh sheet.Numbered tabs indicate the number of remaining sheets left on your sticky mat. Each mats lasts 30 days (one month).
