Environmental Concerns for a Server Room?

Posted by Cliff on from the external-worries dept.

christian_thoma asks: "My company is currently in the preparation phase for building a huge new manufacturing facility. While reviewing the site plan, I've discovered that there is both a cell phone tower and high voltage lines within 100-150 meters of where the server room is going to be placed. Do I need to be concerned? Are there any special considerations when designing my server room that I need to be aware of? Has anyone else had to deal with a similar situation?"

    The CIA can spy on you using electromagnetic radiation from the powerlines to irratiate your thoughts which can be picked up from the cell tower. A tin foil hat may prevent this.
