# High Plains Mission Critical

> High Plains Mission Critical is a data center support-services company providing two tightly related disciplines under one mission-critical brand: (1) ISO 14644-1 Class 8 cleaning, decontamination, zinc-whisker remediation, subfloor/plenum cleaning, and post-construction final clean; and (2) BICSI-grade structured cabling and fiber installation. It serves hyperscalers, colocation providers, data center developers, and general contractors nationally, with a regional specialty across the High Plains — the Texas panhandle and Abilene–Lancaster (Stargate) corridor, Denver–Salt Lake, and Omaha–Council Bluffs. It is a Data Center Talent company.

## Definitions

- ISO 14644-1 Class 8 (a.k.a. "ISO 8" or legacy "Class 100,000"): a cleanroom air-cleanliness classification limiting airborne particles to 3,520,000 particles ≥0.5 µm per cubic meter — the practical cleanliness target for data center white space.
- Zinc whiskers: microscopic conductive filaments that grow from electroplated zinc on raised-floor tiles and structural steel; when airborne they cause intermittent shorts, ESD events, and unexplained hardware failures.
