This seems on-topic: I’ve extensively tested three website monitoring services – Wormly, Site24×7 and Pingability – the results of which you can find here:

Customers should never have the power go out, save for a fire or flood. More to the point, how can anyone afford to operate an Internet service without a fully-redundant and instant-failover deployment from day 1?

Fire sprinklers are actually a low cost, effective, and reliable method for controlling fires in most rooms including electrical rooms. If a fire in an electrical room is large enough to activate a 155 or 200 degree sprinkler, then the room was shot anyway. It’s better to put sprinkler water on it sooner than a fire hose later. However…for critical rooms, why not use sensitive detection with a clean agent suppression system (CO2, FM200, Novec 1230, Ecaro) and deal with the fire BEFORE it builds to catastrophic levels?

Scott is correct about compliance with local Fire Codes. They vary by location. One method of protection that satisfies most codes is a combination clean agent suppression system using any of the latest generation chemicals such as FM-200, ECARO, Saphire, Inergen, etc. backed up with a dual interlock pre-action sprinkler system. The clean agent suppresses the fire with no damage to the equipment and the sprinkler system protects the structure, if needed. I would stay away from CO2 in an potentially occupied space for safety reasons.
