The local Fire Dept and cops and their "emergency response team" is probably looting the datacenter as we speak. Remember, if you go back into the building while its still "dangerous" you will be arreasted, and you can't stop the Fire Dept from water hosing all the server "just to be safe", even if the fire was many floors away.
The racks will also require buzz saws and the jaws of life to make sure there is no fire inside the cabinets since they have no clue how to pull out 19 inch rack systems.
So much for Halon when the Fire Dept will water it down anyways.
So what does happen when the Fire Dept demands to buzz saw and soak servers needlessly in a datacenter, or the police dept seals the building for a few days to do an investigation? Hope your insurance is paid up and you have instant offsite failover and continuous realtime DB mirroring offsite? Or this stuff doesn't happen/there are laws to protect datacenters from the demo and reclamation crew? |
