Advanced Fire Safety Solutions for Uninterrupted Data Center Operation
Fire is one of the most devastating threats a data center can face, capable of causing catastrophic damage and prolonged downtime. Podtech™ offers advanced fire detection and suppression systems engineered to provide rapid response and minimize risk. Our solutions are designed to detect the earliest signs of a potential fire, even microscopic particles, allowing for immediate action before significant damage occurs. Should a fire ignite, our clean agent suppression systems extinguish it quickly without harming sensitive electronic equipment or leaving damaging residue. We build in multiple layers of protection to safeguard your valuable assets and ensure the uninterrupted continuity of your mission-critical operations.

Q: What makes VESDA superior to traditional smoke detectors for data centers?
VESDA (Very Early Smoke Detection Apparatus) is superior because it detects microscopic smoke particles at the earliest stages of combustion, even before visible smoke or flames appear. This allows for significantly more time to investigate and mitigate a potential fire, preventing damage and downtime, which is crucial for sensitive data center environments.
Q: Why are FM 200 or Novec 1230 preferred over water-based suppression in data centers?
FM 200 and Novec 1230 are preferred because they are clean agent fire suppression systems. They extinguish fires without causing damage to sensitive electronic equipment or leaving behind any residue, unlike water-based systems. This minimizes post-fire cleanup and allows for a quicker return to operation.
Q: How does an Oxyreduct system prevent fires?
An Oxyreduct (Oxygen Reduction System) prevents fires by continuously lowering the oxygen concentration within the protected space to a level where combustion cannot be sustained, typically around 15%. This creates a permanently fire-safe environment without the need for active fire extinguishing, and it remains safe for human occupancy.
Q: Are Podtech™ data centers equipped with integrated fire protection?
Yes, Podtech™ data centers come with a built-in automatic fire alarm and fire extinguishing device to promptly prevent and control fires, ensuring the safety and continuous operation of your infrastructure.
