William Collier, owner
of Interstitial Systems,
on what the company’s
electromechanical raised
floor distribution system
offers data centres

nterstitial Systems is a manufacturer of
multilevel electromechanical raised floor
distribution systems for data centres.
William Collier is the company’s founder and owner,
bringing his extensive 42 years’ of industry experience
to the firm.
Collier emphasises both the simplicity of
Interstitial Systems’ TIER E/A electromechanical
raised floor distribution system offering, and the
enormous impact it can have. “It’s remarkable that
something as simple as dividing the underfloor
horizontally into two levels for wires and air can
have such a huge impact on the way a data centre
is designed, serviced and maintained.” Traditionally,
data centres have been built with conventional
raised flooring or on concrete. “That’s basically
the two options that are available,” says Collier.
“We’re the third option that nobody knows very
much about – what we refer to as an electromechanical
distribution system.”
