Connect | India // Tech Showcase: Can data center fire protection keep up with AI? | Marioff

AI is changing the data centre, driving higher rack densities, new cooling technologies, lithium-ion energy storage and increasingly energy-dense infrastructure. But is fire protection evolving at the same pace? This session examines the role of high-pressure water mist in next-generation data centres, focusing on proven fire performance, water efficiency, standards and approvals, and practical system design. This session will address:

• AI & density: How higher-power racks are changing fire risk
• Performance: What full-scale fire testing demonstrates
• Water efficiency: Effective protection with significantly less water
• Standards & approvals: FM Approvals, Indian standards and AHJ requirements
• Design: Integrating fire protection into modern data centre strategy
