Data centers form the foundation of the modern economy. Larger companies host data centers to ensure peace of mind & operational resilience & maintain full control over their data streams. Smaller companies utilize this level of care for their server room cleaning.
For cleanroom compliance standards, to improve equipment reliability, to remove dirt, dust, & contaminants & minimizes the risk of downtime.
Server Rooms & Data Center Cleaning Services
Pritchard provides comprehensive data center cleaning services for clients in multiple industries. We train our team for ISO standards. This ensures the proper level of cleanliness & air quality in a data center environment.
Services include:
Subfloor Cleaning & Anti-Static Finishing
Our technicians use specialized, critical vacuums on the concrete plenum (raised floor system). It is important to realize, this type of subfloor also requires an epoxy coating to the concrete subfloor plenum surface. Typically, non-raised floor surfaces also have an approved anti-static finish. Pritchard can help with this type of floor cleaning & finishing that goes beyond your traditional commercial cleaning
Equipment Cleaning
Cleaning the racks, cages, wire management & electronics is vital to maintaining a healthy & safe working environment. Pritchard technicians undergo specialized cleaning training for a wide range of networking equipment & storage units with green cleaning solutions.
Above Ceiling Cleaning
Data centers often utilize in-rack ventilation, which forces air through the floor & ceiling to optimize cooling efficiency. For one thing, it enables a large-scale cooling system to provide forced air rather than a dedicated ventilation fan per rack, which drives inefficiency & increased costs. Above all, per-rack ventilation systems can also rack up substantial fees via contracted maintenance programs.
Post Construction Cleaning
Data centers require a lot of construction & custom-building modifications & require flawlessly clean air to ensure hardware longevity. Few things certainly would be as catastrophic as losing a full array of striped storage drives or, worse still, a drive controller. Cleanrooms altogether are especially important in this respect.
Disaster Recovery
Pritchard technicians are trained to efficiently clean data centers & similar spaces in a natural disaster. Data storage materials & sensitive electronics can be damaged during the cleanup process, where they may have otherwise been salvageable unless cleaning protocols are executed meticulously. Avert data loss & other issues by being prepared with a back-up plan.
MDF/IDF Closet Cleaning
Main Distribution Frame (MDF) & Intermediate Distribution Frame (IDF) closets are computer rooms that host cabling & vital network hardware. Technicians must be familiar with cleaning & working around sensitive cabling, data center equipment & hardware. Some chemicals & dust removal techniques can damage these network components.
Critical Cleaning
Regular cleanings reduce the risk of downtime by ensuring that server rooms, command centers, raised flooring & other areas for contaminant build-up are managed. Generator & battery backup rooms are two common places that maintaining a controlled environment offers substantial benefits.
Custodial Cleaning
Cleaning tables, workstations & other vital but less sensitive areas are similarly important. Staff must be able to use all parts of the data room safely & ensure that all assets are maintained. Pritchard’s commercial janitorial staff is well-known for its cleaning quality & attention to detail.
Cleanroom Compliance Cleaning
Eliminating or reducing pollutants to specified standards to achieve a clean zone is a serious process & procedure which requires special skills, knowledge & certifications. The Federal Standard 209E defines standard classes of air cleanliness for airborne particulate levels in cleanrooms.
What do We Clean?
