Re: If the amount of kit in your data centre changes significantly

Gases can compress pretty well, and if your walls blow out due to a small change in the contents of a room, then those walls were made of paper.

The building shaking is likely as a consequence of the fixed equipment venting all that gas in a matter of a couple of seconds. There's gonna be an equal and opposite reaction to the gas being deployed somehow...
