An infrastructure floor tile for supporting and positioning a server rack in a datacenter includes a body including top, bottom and side surfaces and a first alignment surface on the top surface. The first alignment surface includes at least one of a projection and a recess. When a server rack is positioned on the first alignment surface of the infrastructure floor tile, the server rack is aligned by the first alignment surface relative to the body. N horizontal channels extend from one of the side surfaces to an opposite one of the side surfaces, where N is an integer greater than one. N vertical channels extending from the top surface of the body to the N horizontal channels, respectively. Power, cooling fluid and/or data lines are connected to the server rack through at least one of the N horizontal channels and at least one of the N vertical channels.
