There is also the issue of protecting a data center that utilizes in row cooling systems to cool the equipment. With in row cooling airflow patterns in a data center change making it diffcult to detect an icipient smoke condition. Please find a link to a free white paper below that discuss fire detection systems utilized in high density data centers with in row cooling systems. http://www.ptsdcs.com/whitepapers/PTSWP3.pdf There are a number of ways to protect your data center against fire conditions and all of the above are well documented.
