Data Centers & Mission-Critical Facilities.

Early, reliable fire detection for facilities that can’t afford downtime.

Data centers, cleanrooms and other mission-critical facilities can’t tolerate downtime or false alarms — fire detection here has to catch a problem before it becomes either a fire or an outage.

In a data center, detection has to be both extremely early and extremely reliable, since a false alarm can be as disruptive as a genuine one and a late detection risks the facility itself.

Fire detection in a data center typically uses aspirating smoke detection to catch the earliest signs of overheating or smoke well before a conventional detector would react. Detection is usually zoned by server hall or cabinet row, so a genuine incident can be isolated and investigated without needing to shut down an entire facility.

Key Challenges

Near-zero tolerance for downtime or false alarms

Detecting overheating and smoke at the earliest possible stage

Controlling physical access to server halls and plant rooms

Zoning detection so one incident doesn’t shut down the whole facility
