Re: Who knew data centres were flower boxes?

Water systems come in different flavors. Dry and Wet. It is hard to test a dry system. When a dry sprinkler system goes off, the pressure in the pipes drops, a valve opens, and water flows through the pipes and out to extinguish the fire. The whole system is dry until an Automatic or manual valve is open. Pretty expensive bauble to have break and possible single point of failure. If you water the servers and the wrong time. You have to plant new Servers. ;-)
