Website Data Center Fire Suppression Means Piece Of Mind Does your website hosting company have your web server housed in a facility that has a fire suppression system? Is the server building part of a warehouse complex, a shopping mall, an old building with substandard wiring, or maybe someone's apartment? If someone in the neighborhood has a fire, will it effect your web server's operation? Will your web server go down, maybe permanently, because of a neighborhood fire? Closing down your website and possibly losing all your data. Your web server should housed in a self contained, stand alone structure, if at all possible. At the very least, the server facility should have a fire wall on either side between the server and it's nearest neighbors in the same building. While making sure the actual building structure is relatively safe from external fire sources, a fire suppression system should also be in use. This should be a fire suppression system that will not destroy the server equipment as it attempts to put out the fire. Water sprinkler systems and standard hand operated fire extinguishers, are not adequate for this task. Water is certain death to the delicate electronic circuits found in computers. The answer to this dilemma is a state of the art Oxygen Depletion system using Carbon Dioxide (C02) gas. If a fire can't breathe if can't burn. Carbon Dioxide (C02) gas extinguishes a fire by reducing the oxygen content of the protected area below the point of combustion. A system of sensors detect the presence of a fire and a built-in piping system in the building carries the Carbon Dioxide (C02) gas from storage tanks to the affected area of the building, thus suffocating the fire. Additionally, we use the FM200 fire suppression system at our server facility. Carbon Dioxide (C02) gas is the very leading edge of fire suppression technology. Carbon Dioxide (C02) gas fire extinguishing systems leave no residue, so there is no clean-up associated with their use. When properly ventilated, the gas escapes into the atmosphere after the fire is suppressed. Carbon Dioxide (C02) gas can be used safely around all of the equipment found at a server facility. Carbon Dioxide (C02) gas is perfect for use around batteries, power panels, switches, routers, and other related computer equipment, without fear of damage or corrosion. The unique fire suppression ability of Carbon Dioxide (C02) gas makes it the perfect for use at a server facility. You should never have to worry about whether your web server may catch fire, and go down, because of insufficient fire protection. Our servers are housed in a stand alone, modern, leading edge, state of the art facility, with the latest fire prevention techniques available in the world today, in place. We believe the use of these techniques along with the FM200 fire suppression system, currently used at our server facility, can make piece of mind about fire prevention, a reality. |
