News Briefs

In past articles we have referred to a "fail safe" switch on a fire suppression system. This is no longer the correct term, these switches are now referred to as an "abort" switch. It operates in three ways:

  • Resets countdown to original time setting. It resets timer each time you let go.
  • Stops countdown and begins countdown where you stopped it at (i.e. if you have it set for 30 seconds and stop it after 15, it starts again from 15 when pressed again.
  • Continues the countdown

Often this operation is misinterpreted as a reset button.


  • Is your company involved in e-business?
  • Are you evaluating your hot site issue?
  • Is "never down" a management mandate?
  • Are you aware of the recent fires in data centers in the Midwest?

If any of these topics are of interest to you, why not invite us to your next meeting for a presentation,
"Are you Compartmentalizing out Risk?"

This is an informative presentation (non-sales) that addresses the changes that are occurring in the data center world. A lot of attention is focused on protecting data in a high-security world. But what about the machines and rooms that hold the data? What is being done to protect where the data is stored? We offer a challenging presentation examining these, and other issues, that can open up a challenging discussion for change.
