Fire
inter|spots uses Carbon Dioxide (CO2) gas for fire suppression. CO2 has a high ratio of expansion which facilitates rapid discharge and allows for three dimensional penetration of the entire hazard area quickly. Carbon Dioxide extinguishes a fire by reducing the oxygen content of the protected area below the point where it can support combustion.
Due to the extreme density of the Carbon Dioxide, it quickly and effectively permeates the protected hazard area and suppresses the fire. Rapid expansion of the 4-6 inches of Carbon Dioxide snow to gas reduces the ambient temperature in the protected hazard area which aids in the extinguishing process and retards re-ignition.
CO2 is non-damaging. Carbon Dioxide fire suppression will not damage sensitive electronic equipment. Carbon Dioxide has no residual clean-up associated with its use as a fire suppressing agent. Since our data centre is properly ventilated, the gas escapes to atmosphere after the fire has been extinguished.
Air
Our data centres have been engineered to avoid any single point of failure in our connectivity, power, or Air Conditioning. And because our data centres are not open to the public, you can rest assured that only a handful of highly trained technicians will be allowed within close physical proximity to your server. All air is circulated and filtered every two minutes to remove dust and contaminants. The data centre's Air Conditioning system is N+1 redundant to ensure that even in the event of an entire A/C system failure, there is a duplicate system on standby to take over. Room Our high ceilings allow for hot air to go far above the equipment before processing by the Air Conditioning system. Many competitors save space and provide very little overhead space, causing higher temperature for the servers in the top rows.
