Fire and Safety Solutions
The Need for Fire and Safety Solutions
Safe data centers and IT assets are the indispensable backbone of today’s highly engineered society. Failure of the internal data center or other equipment poses a significant problem within a short time. Employees who are not able to carry out their work and unhappy customers, represent merely the tip of the iceberg of your technical vulnerability. Therefore, the most important objective is maximum availability.
For maximum protection, a comprehensive fire safety system is needed to ensure your business’s continuity, personal safety and damage mitigation in case of fire. The cornerstones of such a system are fire detection systems that guarantee earliest and most reliable fire detection in a highly ventilated area and one that activates the alarm devices, the relevant fire safety controls and appropriate response measures.

Why Syndrome Newedge for Fire and Safety Solutions?
Look for vulnerabilities beyond the obvious
We look for vulnerabilities beyond your IT infrastructure. If a telephone cabinet near a busy intersection is instrumental to your facility’s operation, then we ‘harden that infrastructure’ with a barrier.
Backup your systems
Hosting all your data in one center is a bad idea. We help you host your data in multiple locations simultaneously. We also advise you to back up your fire suppression.
Analyse the risks
We carry out a full risk assessment on your state of disaster preparedness. What’s the likey business impact of an outage? What’s the probability your center will experience one, and what will be the cause?
Plan the recovery
We put together a recovery plan for you. We tell you what to do in the event of a fire or other disasters? Which employees to put in charge of restoring specific systems and technologies?
Test and validate the plan
Once we put the plan in place, we simulate a disaster and run fire drills with your employees. We conduct hands-on technical tests where your employees are tasked with restoring an offline system in order to gauge readiness.
