Data centres and computer rooms are major financial and capital assets and need protection from fire. Very often insurance companies mandate the highest levels of fire protection.
The subject includes methods of fire detection, fire alarm and fire suppression.
Various EU and British Standards require certain levels of protection to be available in different environments. In the computer room the aspirating smoke detection system is recommended working alongside a gas fire suppression system.
Gas fire suppression systems themselves come in various types. It may be more appropriate to go for a rack based system, for example, in some circumstances.
Main gas fire suppression systems come in two classes since halon was banned. One is an inert gas method and the other is based on a halocarbon gas. All of the styles have their pros and cons and Capitoline can advise, and supply if required, the most appropriate method for all environments.
