Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: D

A service corridor is a dedicated space within or adjacent to a data centre that allows access to the supporting facilities, such as power, cooling, fire suppression, security, and cabling systems, without interfering with the computer room operations. A service corridor helps to isolate the noise, vibration, heat, and dust generated by the supporting facilities from the sensitive equipment in the computer room. A service corridor also enhances the safety and efficiency of the maintenance and monitoring activities, as well as the flexibility and scalability of the data centre design.

Haha, A makes it sound like a fancy media vault. I think I'll go with B, the good old generic pathway option.

I'm going with C. You need a secure, vented area for those loud, smelly generators. Can't have that in the main data center!

D sounds about right to me. Keeping the support functions separate from the main computer room makes perfect sense.
