The machine room (also known as the Glasshouse). So named for the fact that you are walk on tiles that can be removed to gain access to the cabling that runs below your feet. The area below your feet is also the air conditioning duct to simplify cooling of all the hardware in the room. The irony of it all is that most raised floor machine rooms these days are built for ISP and corporate LAN servers, run by the same people who decried them during the PC Revolution.
a must to keep your dog dry and warm and proper ventilation will provide fresh, comfortable air while maintaining temperature
Used in telecommunications and computer rooms to run connecting cables and air ducts to cool equipment.
A method by which cabling can be distributed to and from equipment. It typically consists of large squares of wood or steel which are individually laid on metal support pedestals and can be easily removed to access the cabling.
Usually found in computer rooms. Floor panels are set on risers usually 10"-12" above the actual floor, used to route cables under equipment, and provide a plenum for air conditioning.
A "must" in modern office space as it allows all services (like structured cabling and air- circulation) to flow freely through a horizontal void between the floor finish and floor base (void about 25cm- 30cm tall), thus accomplishing maximum flexibility in internal office space design at all times.
Raised floors are used in office buildings with a high requirement for servicing, such as IT data centers, and carry cables, electrical supply, and sometimes air conditioning or chilled water pipes, server racks, or desks in landscaped office areas.
