Professional internal cleaning for servers, switches, comms equipment, tape libraries and other sensitive IT hardware – nationwide, 24/7.
Even the best-maintained data centres can suffer from equipment internal contamination, often caused during refurbishment or redesign of the Data Hall. IT Cleaning Ltd specialise in internal cleaning of servers, switches, tape libraries and other sensitive IT hardware — restoring airflow, reducing temperatures and extending equipment lifespan.
Dust inside IT hardware is a silent threat. Most internal contamination occurs when construction, drilling or refurbishment work is carried out nearby while equipment remains live. Fine particles accumulate quickly inside servers, switches and libraries. IT Cleaning Ltd can open and clean equipment internally.
“Contamination has been the indirect cause of more IT downtime than all the fires, floods, hurricanes, earthquakes and disgruntled employees combined.” — Jon William Toigo, Disaster Recovery Planning (3rd Edition)
Where refurbishment is planned near live equipment, our ProtectIT pressurised containment isolates hardware before contamination becomes a problem. This stops the equipment becoming contaminated. Even in a live Data Hall, Server or Comms Room.
