Data Centers & IT Facilities
Critical IT infrastructure protection with clean agent fire suppression systems.
Data centers house mission-critical IT infrastructure where fire protection must balance rapid suppression with equipment preservation. Traditional water-based systems can cause more damage than the fire itself in these environments. BMS Investments provides specialized clean agent fire suppression solutions designed for data centers, server rooms, and IT facilities. Our systems detect fires at the earliest stages and deploy suppression agents that extinguish fires without damaging sensitive electronic equipment or leaving residue.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best fire suppression system for data centers?
Data centers typically use clean agent systems like FM-200, Novec 1230, or inert gases that suppress fires without damaging electronic equipment. Solid aerosol generators offer a cost-effective alternative with similar benefits. The choice depends on room size, value of equipment, and environmental considerations.
How does clean agent suppression protect IT equipment?
Clean agents suppress fires through chemical or physical mechanisms without leaving residue or conducting electricity. This means IT equipment can continue operating during and after discharge, and there's no cleanup or equipment replacement required after activation.
What detection is recommended for server rooms?
Aspirating smoke detection (ASD) provides the earliest warning by continuously sampling air through a network of pipes. This detects smoke at concentrations far below what conventional detectors can sense, enabling response before fires develop.
How do you protect lithium-ion battery systems in data centers?
Lithium-ion battery systems in UPS installations require specialized detection for thermal runaway and suppression systems designed for battery fires. We provide solutions including gas detection, thermal monitoring, and appropriate suppression agents for these high-risk areas.
