Myint & Associates Data Center raised floors are more than just an infrastructure choice—they are the foundation of our mission to deliver exceptional data center efficiency. As a critical component of modern data center design, raised floors ensure peak performance and reliability for your IT systems. But what sets our advanced raised floor solutions apart?
Why Choose Right Raised Floors for Your Data Center?
Efficient airflow management is essential for optimal data center performance, and our raised floor systems provide unmatched cooling efficiency for high-performance server environments. Unlike conventional setups that use raised floors for cabling, our innovative approach eliminates underfloor clutter by placing cables overhead, above the server Racks. This smart design allows the raised floor to focus exclusively on cooling airflow, maximizing efficiency and ensuring your servers, storage devices, and networking equipment operate at their peak, 24/7. As data centers grow to accommodate increasing demands for cloud computing, colocation services, and enterprise IT solutions, maintaining a cool environment becomes vital. High-density IT equipment generates significant heat, and without effective airflow management, this can lead to performance issues and downtime. M&A Data Center’s raised floor solutions ensure consistent cooling and optimal airflow to support your business-critical applications.

M&A Data Center Cooling
Key Raised Floor Design Principles
Efficient data center cooling begins with understanding airflow dynamics. Here’s how raised floor systems excel in modern data center design:
Typical cooling challenges in Myanmar server rooms
1. Classroom Setup
In traditional server room setups, Racks are evenly spaced across the floor, often referred to as a “classroom layout.” While this design is still common, it’s inefficient for high-density server Racks. Mixing hot and cold air leads to inconsistent cooling, hotspots, and reduced system performance, making it unsuitable for modern data center environments.
2. Hot and Cold Aisle Containment with Suspended Ceilings
This hybrid configuration combines raised floors with suspended ceilings to create a highly efficient cooling system. Cold air is delivered through perforated raised floor tiles, while hot air is directed into ceiling plenums using the suspended ceiling. This separation of hot and cold air streams prevents thermal contamination, improving energy efficiency and reducing operating costs.
Standard Cooling Room Design
3. Hot and Cold Aisle Containment (M&A Data Center Standard)
M&A Data Center implements the hot and cold aisle containment method as our standard design for superior airflow management and energy efficiency. Here’s how it works:
Standard Cooling Room Design
- Strategic Rack Placement: Server Racks are arranged to create distinct hot aisles and cold aisles, separating the intake of cool air from the exhaust of warm air.
- Optimized Air Distribution: Cool air flows through perforated tiles in the raised floor, delivering it directly to the cold aisles.
- Efficient Warm Air Return: Warm air from server exhausts rises to the ceiling, where it is captured and recirculated by advanced CRAC (Computer Room Air Conditioning) units.
- Cable Management: Overhead cable trays keep wiring neat, accessible, and free from the underfloor space, preventing blockages in airflow.
Rack Placement for Optimal Cooling
Effective cooling isn’t just about airflow design—it’s also about smart equipment placement. Follow these guidelines to maximize cooling efficiency in your server Racks:
- Strategic Equipment Positioning: Place high-heat equipment at least 30 cm (1 ft) above the raised floor to ensure proper airflow and heat dissipation.
- Avoid Overloading Upper Racks: Avoid positioning heat-intensive devices above the halfway point of the rack height. This allows for consistent air circulation and minimizes the risk of hotspots at the top of the Racks.
Impact of Equipment Replacement on Airflow Efficiency
Proper rack placement is essential to maintain even temperatures and optimize the performance of your IT infrastructure.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. What are the benefits of raised floors in data centers?
Raised floors provide efficient airflow management, enhance cooling efficiency, and create a clean, organized space for server equipment. They also support scalability and ease of maintenance by enabling flexible cabling and cooling configurations.
2. How do raised floors improve cooling efficiency?
Raised floors allow cool air to flow directly to server racks through perforated tiles while separating hot and cold air streams. This reduces thermal contamination and improves the energy efficiency of cooling systems.
3. Why is cable management important in server rooms?
Proper cable management prevents airflow blockages under the floor, enhances cooling efficiency, and ensures easy access for maintenance and future upgrades. Overhead cable trays, like those used at M&A Data Center, keep cables organized and accessible.
4. What is hot and cold aisle containment?
Hot and cold aisle containment is a design strategy that separates the intake of cool air from the exhaust of hot air. This prevents thermal mixing, improves cooling efficiency, and reduces energy costs in data centers.
5. How can I optimize rack placement for better cooling?
Place high-heat equipment at least 30 cm (1 ft) above the floor, avoid overloading upper racks with heat-intensive devices, and maintain proper spacing between racks to ensure consistent airflow.
