Fire Security

For businesses that are reliant on massive amounts of electronics, fire prevention is top of the safety agenda. At IFL we’ve spent millions on creating the safest, most fire-resistant environment possible.

IFL utilise Very Early Smoke Detection Apparatus (VESDA) equipment. VESDA systems constantly analyse air composition by passing particles in front of a laser, and triggering warning systems if particles of combustion are found. VESDA systems are renowned in the fire prevention industry for the rarity of associated false alarms – so we won’t be calling you out in the early hours of the morning unless absolutely necessary.

Smoke detectors are positioned throughout the data centre and in floor and roof spaces. These work on a ‘double knock’ system, looking out for smoke in two zones simultaneously before triggering an alarm. In this case, FM200 and Argonite gas are used to suppress any potential fires before they take hold. Both gases are harmless to your systems.

All fires are extinguished within 10 seconds, minimising toxins and the presence of soot.

With IFL’s fire prevention systems, you can breathe easy.
