Keeping Your Server Room Clean 

Maintaining the atmosphere in your Server Room requires routine cleaning of the computer room. To maintain your environment free of dust, grime, and other dangerous particles that can affect your operating systems and pose health hazards for staff, plan site cleanings on a regular basis. 

Your server room's circulation of dust and other particles might build up and seriously interfere with the equipment by leading to some challenging or even fatal issues. Loss of data and media faults are two examples of such issues.

َA good rule of thumb is to conduct a certified data center room cleaning every three months. If your particle count exceeds the limits of "ISO 14644-8" or "ISO 14644-9," you may need to schedule cleaning frequently.

By adhering to a good cleaning plan, you can improve the performance of server room equipment while reducing the cost of repairing or restoring data.

When you think about normal cleaning expenses compared to full financial investment in your data center, this is a no-brainer.
