Nobody wants water leaks in their homes or spaces. Water is the cause of many inconvenient and downright dangerous scenarios: flooding, water damages, power outages, damage to furniture or other valuable property, and more. That’s why we often find the need to waterproof our spaces.
How to safeguard your data centre from water damage
It’s just as, if not more so, important to waterproof your server rooms and data centres. Water leaks are no joke when it comes to electronics. The equipment housed in server rooms are incredibly fussy for what they are-- that’s why we even have special equipment for computer room air conditioning! Changes in temperature and humidity can wreak havoc on those delicate components. What more can water or moisture do?
Don’t wait til the last minute to protect your equipment from leaks and other hazards. Your servers and data centres are an integral part of your business operations. Damage to these important pieces of equipment can set you back a lot of money and cause inconveniences to both your employees, customers, and other business stakeholders. Here are some tips to waterproof your rooms:
- Place your equipment on a raised surface. In case of flooding, a few inches of space between the floor and the equipment can make all the difference.
- Choose rooms with no water pipes in the walls or ceiling. Location is extremely important. Keeping it away from water sources beforehand is always a good idea.
- Install a water leak detection system. Advanced systems for detecting water leaks are available to you. Installing them is a must.
