Naturally all those servers running will dump a considerable amount of heat into the building and therefore it needs to have adequate ventilation and airconditioning. There’s a total of 2Megawatt of cooling capacity available whereas the temperature in the server rooms is kept at 22-degrees celcius at all times. To make sure damage is kept to a minimum in case of a fire the entire building is equipped with a mist based fire extinguisher system that’ll produce a fine mist of tiny water droplets in case of fire. This fine mist will not only extinguish a fire quickly but also prevent smoke particles from spreading throughout the datacenter.
