Some questions:
What about dust? Wouldn't the carpet hold down more dust then a regular flo=
or=2C and at some point=2C
the dust could kick back up and go right back into the servers?=20
What about maintenance of the floor? (sweep/brooming wise) Isn't it easier =
to use something like
iRobot on a flat floor than a carpeted one?
I don't know the exact coding standards=2C but would it not be better to us=
e those sound proof materials
in the corner and walls around the datacenter?
Wouldn't a carpet be bad for possible fires/flames or sparks?
