Fire Suppression
Like the banner above points out, Water & Servers just don’t mix. That’s why Complex Drive Data Center and Colocation facilities utilize advanced Gas-based, 100% water-free fire suppression systems.
Sure they cost more, but we think our customers are worth it! In the Data Center and Colocation business, half of our efforts go into planning for the unexpected. We would be remiss in spending millions on power redundancy, millions on Internet connectivity, and then taking the easy way out by thinking, "Oh, a fire will never happen in our Data Center, we can just put sprinklers in."
Complex Drive's advanced CO2 and FM200 Fire Suppression Systems ensure that no matter what happens, your data, your equipment, your online presence is safe and secure.
Complex Drive employs the VESDA very early warning fire detection system that utilizes a system of smoke and photo electric sensors located strategically throughout the Data Center both above and below the raise floor platform. Should an actual fire emergency occur, the CO2 and FM200 systems are designed to extinguish the fire by releasing suppressant into the Zone where the fire was detected. Each facility is broken into multiple fire zones for added security and to shorten the time it takes to bring the facility back to 100% operational status. Since the fire suppression systems are fully Gas-based, recovering from a fire emergency takes just minutes, as opposed to the days of clean up and catastrophic damage that can be caused by foam, powder, or WATER based systems.
