The data driven world relies heavily on global communication networks and other infrastructure in order to function.  The modern, large data centres dotting the Earth are a critical part of that infrastructure.

Fire is one of the more serious risks facing data centres. Ideally, fire protection is incorporated into the overall security scheme of the data centre. This approach has benefits both in terms of investment and performance.
