Challenge
Polcom data center needed an absolutely reliable extinguishing system. Data centers are highly demanding environments with various risks of potential ignition. In addition, malfunctions can occur in hard disk drives (HDDs) during a dry extinguishing process, due to the high noise level generated by conventional extinguishing systems during the discharge process.
Solution
The Siemens Solution Partner SUPOBER installed the Sinorix™ Silent Extinguishing Technology with the Sinorix Silent Nozzle. The extinguishing agent can be distributed evenly into the protected area and it also keeps the noise level during a discharge below the level that has been found to pose a risk to HDDs.
Benefits
Safe and quiet extinguishing ensures that customer data remains safe, even in case of fire. Furthermore, HDDs operate reliably during and after an extinguishing process.
