When liquid gets into the sensitive areas of a data centre, the result could be system disruptions, downtime or, in the worst case, serious and long-lasting damage to the entire data centre infrastructure that could bring operations and all IT services to a standstill. To prevent this kind of catastrophe from even happening in the first place, it is advisable to monitor the areas in server rooms and data centres with either a spot detector or a system that monitors the whole area.

Detectors and/or sensors in the right places detect when liquid (water, bases, acids, etc.) gets in, zone controllers register and pinpoint the liquid and trigger alarms right away so that measurements can be initiated or automatically initiated either by the data centre personnel or by DCIM or BMS systems. Proactive and reliable protection is easy to integrate – not just into data centre environments of all sizes but also into data centre containers or other data centre architectures and designs.
