Data Hall Contamination. OR data hall dust. This dust ranges in size from ultra-fine below 0.1µm (micron) to macro particles which are above 5µm. Data rooms are concerned with particles from 0.1µm to 5µm which are known as norm. If you remember 1000µm = 1mm. Dust of this size is ubiquitous, even with the
best filtration system this dust will get into the data rooms and the IT equipment. Due to its
size, mass and density most dust will enter as, or soon become airborne, then depending
on its size and mass, forces such as gravity, Van De Waals force(electro static force),
diffusion, electro static attraction, air flow and Brownian motion. This dust will find its way onto surfaces both external and internal to the equipment. These small particles often enter the data room via open doors, fresh air inlets, air con units and on people. Or visa an economised air conditioning system. Larger particles are transferred into the data room via human activity on shoes, wheels and boxes etc. These are then broken down by air flow to become smaller particle and become airborne. For information on how this contamination can damage IT equipment see here.

“Data Hall 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
