6 Reasons Why You Should Clean Your Data Center Facility During a Move-out and Move-in

There are many reasons you should clean your data center facility during a move-out and a move-in. Let’s break them down.

1. Cleaning During a Move-Out helps get rid of dust on and in cabinets, on servers, and in servers, and prevents you from tracking it to the new facility. Our team is equipped to clean each piece with care and static-free cleaning techniques that will leave your equipment in pristine condition, ready to be placed in the clean cabinets at the new site.
2. During the move-out, you may find things in your facility that might have been left behind from the original installation, especially in the subfloors. There are all sorts of things that get left behind in the subfloor during installation and there is a strong possibility that it’s been there since you moved it.
3. When you clean during a move-out, starting with the top and going down (before your server cabinets are opened) you can eliminate more dust and debris from getting on the equipment because it has been removed.
4. Cleaning the entire facility before a move-in is essential. The entirety of the computer room should be cleaned from the top down including the subfloor, The HVAC system should be cleaned thoroughly so that you can ensure that there isn’t any dust that will begin blowing on your equipment as soon as you move it in.
5. When moving into a new facility, it is important to give your equipment another inspection and possibly another clean to ensure that it is completely free of debris when it enters the cabinet. This is especially important for equipment that might not have been packed away in boxes during transport or for equipment that wasn’t directly moved from one facility to another and spent time in storage.
6. Starting out in a new facility should feel like starting out on a clean slate. Our team at Clear Air Enviro-Services will ensure that the entire facility is completely clean from the top to the bottom and ready to support your business.
