Advanced Fire Protection in Data Centres Jeff Klein, Honeywell Life

2 The Challenge for Mission Critical Data Centres Fuel (Electricity / Hardware Components) Oxygen All 3 components are present in a data centre; all of the time! Ignition (Heat / Electrical Components) 64% of commercial building fires start with the power supply or air conditioning system; data centres can t operate without either!

3 The High Cost of Fire Business disruption caused by downtime in a data centre can typically cost up to $500,000 Data centre downtime usually costs around $5,600 per minute but can cost up to $11,000 per minute Data outages typically last 90 minutes In the US in 2010, $2.5B loss was attributed to 85,000 fire cases in commercial buildings; such as data centres Source: Emerson-Network Power, Understanding the Cost of Data Centre Downtime, USFA estimates

4 Matching the Mission Critical Mindset Goal is to identify & mitigate risks long before a catastrophic event occurs Focus on efficiency, uptime and proactive maintenance View very early warning smoke detection as an active part of the building management system View the fire system as another important piece of equipment in the data centre Want the fire system to communicate with the IT infrastructure

5 Solving the Mission Critical Application Challenge A very early warning system that meets your needs
