Fire protection in the data center
IT fire protection concepts from the experts
Damage caused by fire gases or fire in a data center is more common than expected. Fires can massively endanger not only the server room, but the entire company in its continued existence. A sophisticated fire protection concept from experts for fire detection, fire extinguishing and fire prevention is therefore essential for every company. A modern fire protection solution ensures your availability even in the event of a fire in the highly secure data centre, in warehouses and offices or entire production facilities.
Stepped fire protection concept in the server room
To ensure that high availability is guaranteed even in the event of a fire, we recommend that all fire protection aspects be clarified with experienced experts before construction begins. These include, among other things, organizational fire protection, as well as structural fire protection. In the server room area, each room is usually designed as an independent fire compartment. We also take fire or fire resistance into account during planning and design.
We support you in your data center project even before the start of construction or We plan and coordinate our know-how with various other trades. In the fire protection concept, all aspects of new construction or expansion are taken into account and worked out. In the area of server rooms and IT infrastructure, we are guided by DIN EN 50600 as well as fire resistance class according to DIN 4102 and fire protection class.
We design fire protection concepts for the following areas:
- Server room and data center or IT
- Warehouses and logistics operations
- Production plants and industrial plants
- Offices and business premises
- Medical facilities
- Other critical areas
The following questions must be considered when planning your fire protection solution:
- What are your individual availability requirements?
- Is there already a fire protection concept for the entire property?
- Exist e.g. special fire protection requirements on the part of the local fire brigade?
- Is there a fire alarm system for the entire property?
- Is the building protected by a sprinkler system?
- What are the fire hazards from the surrounding area?
- Escalation plan in the event of a fire: Where do alarms occur and who reacts in what form in the event of an alarm (employees, plant security, fire brigade)?

In the field of fire protection, we recommend relying on early detection systems with active air intake. Smoke aspiration systems (RAS) can detect a fire as it arises and thus prevent it.
After successful commissioning and training of your operating personnel, you will receive the entire documentation from us, including all manuals, sketches and plans.
Service, maintenance and support
The highest level of fire protection in the data center and operation also requires regular inspection and maintenance of the systems. Our service team determines the functionality of your fire protection systems and advises you on current fire protection solutions.
