Some questions: What about dust? Wouldn't the carpet hold down more dust then a regular floor, and at some point, the dust could kick back up and go right back into the servers?
What about maintenance of the floor? (sweep/brooming wise) Isn't it easier to use something like iRobot on a flat floor than a carpeted one? I don't know the exact coding standards, but would it not be better to use those sound proof materials in the corner and walls around the datacenter? Wouldn't a carpet be bad for possible fires/flames or sparks? > Date: Thu, 1 Apr 2010 08:55:20 -0700 > Subject: Raised floor, Solid floor... or carpet? > From: sc...@doc.net.au > To: nanog@nanog.org > > Adding to the recent debate over raised v's solid floor, seem there's > another option that wasn't discussed... > > http://www.iphouse.com/ > > Scott.
