Read on to find out!
Fire Protection in Your Data Center
While traditional fire protection is in place for life safety purposes, data centers require an extra form of protection – namely equipment protection. The nerve centers of most any business a data center must be fully operational at all times to prevent business downtime and lost revenues. This means a fire suppression system that not only protects lives but the equipment as well. Sprinkler systems, while useful in many applications, can do more harm than good if placed over a data center. You wouldn’t pour water on your smartphone, so you likely wouldn’t pour water on your server room either.
Fire Suppression Systems for Your Data Center
By using a special hazard fire suppression system, your data center will be kept dry and safe from fire damage and moisture. So what kind of agent should you use? Gas suppressants are extremely effective in guarding your data center against fires. Clean agent systems such as FM200 and Novec 1230 extinguish a fire without damage to equipment that traditional sprinkler systems may cause. These systems are safe for the environment and human life and are highly effective when installed properly. Tied to a fire detection system these systems remove heat from the fire, extinguishing the fire without damaging any equipment. No cleanup is needed and your system that is not damaged will continue to operate, preventing downtime.
