You might be better off reading the archives of inet-access or isp-equipment.
Dejanews can be your friend as well.
IMHO, raised floor is useful as an air plenum and possibly for power, but
not a necessity. Use overhead cable ladder for communications wiring and
fiber. Adds, moves, and changes with raised floor are a PITA.
If you're starting from scratch, consider a 48VDC power plant and DC-powered
equipment, telco style. Air conditioning, fire suppression, security, etc.,
etc. are all part of the equation.
I can put you in touch with people who do this for a living, off-list.
