Maskinrum
Maskinrum, also known as a machine room or server room, is a dedicated space within a building used to house computer servers and other critical IT equipment. These rooms are designed to provide optimal conditions for the operation of sensitive electronic devices, ensuring their reliability and longevity. Key features of a maskinrum include controlled temperature and humidity levels, clean air filtration, and restricted access to prevent dust and contamination. The room is typically equipped with redundant power supplies, including uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) and backup generators, to safeguard against power outages. Additionally, fire suppression systems, such as halon or clean agent systems, are often installed to protect against electrical fires. Security measures, including biometric access controls and surveillance cameras, are common to prevent unauthorized entry. Proper ventilation and cooling systems, such as raised floor cooling or computer room air conditioning (CRAC) units, are essential to maintain the necessary temperature and humidity levels. Regular maintenance and monitoring are crucial to ensure the continued functionality and safety of the equipment housed within the maskinrum.
