It's for everything. Most labs I've worked in that have had raised flooring have
had lots and lots of cabling running under as well as the AC; it's very useful for
keeping cables out of everyone's hair.
Sometimes there are anti-static benefits as well; it's a lot easier to make raised
flooring conductive than regular concrete.
In the classes I took for Cisco certification (a certification which proved to be utterly
useless to me), they were constantly warning of the dangers of raised floors and dropped
ceilings in re: espionage. Apparently ninjas are a big problem in datacenters? That was
the impression they gave, anyway.
