No matter the size of your data center, it requires regular cleaning to keep the equipment in good working order, maintain higher sanitation levels, and present a more attractive appearance to employees and visitors.

Your staff can contribute to a clean environment by unpacking equipment in designated areas and keeping cartons out of the server rooms. Still, you will want to hire a professional for maximum cleanliness and data security.
