Updates, changes to NFPA 75 affect data centers

摘要

The origin of NFPA 75: Standard for the Fire Protection of Information Technology (IT) Equipment dates back to a fire that occurred in the Pentagon on July 2, 1959. According to the Arlington Fire Journal, published Feb. 11, 2005, the fire developed in a basement computer room operated by the Air Force and burned for more than five hours, fueled primarily by magnetic tape. The fire damaged 4,000 sq ft of the Pentagon and resulted in an estimated $30 million of damage to the building and computer equipment in what was, at the time, the worlds' largest government office building.
