In addition to fire detection and alarm systems, organizations
that have a dedicated server / rack rooms should have
minimum gas suppression systems.
The different types of gas suppression systems available
are CO2, NAF SIII, FM 200 and Inergen. CO2 systems are
generally not recommended for usage in any manned areas.
NAF S III was the second alternative to CO2 system.
NAF SIII is said to cause ozone depletion and is not
a suitable suppression system for manned areas. The
most suitable gas suppression alternatives are FM 200
[Heptafluropropane] and Inergen [a mixture of Argon&
Nitrogen]. Many IT and Technology companies are investing
today in either FM 200 or Inergen gas suppression systems
for the protection of their server / data center rooms.

The FM 200 agent is one of the
most effective fire suppressants available for stopping
fires before they cause any damage. The FM 200 agent
is safe for environment, people and property and
has an unblemished record of safety in use.
