Data Centres suffer contamination
events from time to time, be it from ingress of water, gases, fire
combustion products, building construction dust or fire suppression system
discharges. The issues of contamination are not well understood by either
the facilities manager or the equipment vendor. It is extremely common for
vendors to void warranties and maintenance agreements once they find
themselves outside their 'comfort zone' after a contamination incident.
We have had a great deal of success in managing the complex issues and fears surrounding such events and have prevented the unnecessary expenditure of many millions of dollars.
