Activity and Processes
Isolation of the data center is an integral factor in maintaining appropriate
conditions. All unnecessary activity should be avoided in the data center, and access
should be limited to necessary personnel only. Periodic activity, such as tours, should
be limited, and traffic should be restricted to away from the hardware so as to avoid
accidental contact. All personnel working in the room, including temporary
employees and janitorial personnel, should be trained in the most basic sensitivities
of the hardware so as to avoid unnecessary exposure. The controlled areas of the data
center should be thoroughly isolated from contaminant producing activities. Ideally,
print rooms, check sorting rooms, command centers or other areas with high levels of
mechanical or human activity should have no direct exposure to the data center.
Paths to and from these areas should not necessitate traffic through the main data
center areas.
