Our data center use to have two types of electric wall outlets. Red was for computer equipment on clean data center power and white was for other things on building power. Now all outlets on the walls are building power and data center power is provided through power strips that are coded red or green for the clean data center power path that they are on.
We also have specially trained cleaners who are given access to the rooms when. They are the only cleaners allowed to clean. Thank you and have a Terrific day!
