Data centres have become the very backbone of business functions in the modern digital world, taking up the crucial role of keeping vital information and staying seamlessly connected. However, data centres are highly vulnerable to fire hazards due to the high concentration of electrical and networking equipment. A reliable Data Center Fire Fighting System is the surety of possible losses and smooth business continuity. Swastik Synergy Engineering PVT LTD specializes in bringing cutting-edge fire fighting systems within Data Centers where rapid detection will be done coupled with efficient suppression and minimal downtimes.
Why Data Centers Require Advanced Fire Protection?
Unlike any conventional building, data centers hold very sensitive and high-value servers and IT equipment, which are vulnerable to water and extreme heat. A minor fire outbreak can bring about widespread damage, resulting in lost data, operational downtime, and financial delays. An advanced Data Center Fire Fighting System shall reduce the risk of fire outbreaks and protect the critical infrastructure for missions.
Types of Data Center Fire Suppression System
1. Gas-Based Fire Suppression Systems
Gas-based suppression is the most efficient for a data center. It does not leave any kind of residue. The equipment and sensitive electronics also are not affected. Some types of gas-based fire suppression are:
FM-200: A fire suppressant that can stop a fire rapidly without leaving residue or damaging sensitive electronics.
Novec 1230: Non-toxic, Environmentally Friendly Fire Suppressant That Quickly Smothers Fires Without Environmental Damage.
CO₂ Fire Suppression: Best for unpopulated areas, CO₂ deprives fires of oxygen, halting combustion.
