(Transcript) Data centers store and control information critical to a company’s mission. Behind the scenes are servers and storage units that must be kept safe. While there is much legitimate concern about external threats from hackers and other bad actors, physical damage can also occur from internal catastrophes.
Fires can start anywhere in your facility, and the type of fire suppression system in the data center may be inadequate or non-existent. Data equipment is delicate and subject to damage from fire, smoke, high temperatures, and water damage. If a fire starts outside the data center area, the sprinkler system in other parts of the facility may be unable to fully extinguish the fire due to malfunction or being overwhelmed by the intensity of the flames. FIRELOCK® server vaults safeguard this mission-critical infrastructure with Class 125 protection.
The UL Class 125 1, 2, or 3-hour fire rating means that when a vault is subjected to temperatures exceeding 1700°, the internal temperature of the vault will not exceed 125° for the rated number of hours or more. This is well below the temperature at which digital media are damaged or destroyed. These media include backup tapes, data cartridges, CDs, diskettes, and microfiche.
FIRELOCK® fireproof modular vaults are rigorously tested by a third-party, nationally-recognized laboratory, resulting in the highest ratings in the industry. Don’t risk losing critical, irreplaceable media and equipment to fire and other damage. Request a free estimate from FIRELOCK® today!
