raised floor / raised flooring = pavimento galleggiante / flottante / sopraelevato
Il pavimento sopraelevato o meno correttamente chiamato anche "pavimento galleggiante" o "pavimento flottante" è composto fondamentalmente da pannelli di dimensione standard 60x60 cm e da un telaio metallico di sopraelevazione.

A raised floor (also raised flooring) is a type of floor used in office buildings (such as IT data centers) with a high requirement for servicing to carry cables, wiring, and electrical supply. Additional structural support and lighting are often provided when a floor is raised enough for a person to crawl or even walk beneath.

Mr Murray (X)
: lots of names for this depending precisely its use...I suspect it's the type in your second example - but, I'd still use 'floating floor' to be safe. You actual answer doesn't have 'floating floor' but your explanation does. So, I agree.
