* Exactly how much does computer downtime and data loss cost businesses? The statistics are staggering. The average cost per hour of downtime for a financial brokerage house is estimated at US$6.5M (Source: Computerworld, August 4, 1997) * The biggest risk to the continuous operation within a computer room facility is the smoke damage to electrical equipment, not the fire. The by-products of smoke from PVC and digital circuit boards are gases such as HCL and these gases will cause corrosion of IT equipment. The graph bellow depicts the damage that can be caused by the increase of particulates within the computer room. Even at 16 micro grams there is moderate corrosion with long-term effects on Electronics, at 30 micro grams the corrosion is active and the effects are short term. Above this the damage to equipment is detrimental to ongoing performance. Use of a VEWSD detector to detect such contaminants can reduce the risk of such damage occurring. In many cases the contaminants are present at very low levels, often as a result of high background smog/smoke levels, often introduced from poor quality air during the use of ‘economy cycle’ HVAC. Without the use of VEWSD the low levels of these contaminants can go un-noticed for long periods of time causing insidious but permanent damage. ? In addition, the use of the event log of a sophisticated VEWSD can be used to support a warranty or product replacement claim on an equipment vendor where equipment fails within its warranted terms of use. This is especially important where the vendor’s warranted terms of use reference the quality of the environment rather than the deposition of contaminants on the equipment, as is often the case. * ? Test performed by Vision Fire Security have shown that by burning a measured length of wire within a controlled room we can determine the resulting Obscuration/m. In a 1,000 square metre room with a ceiling height of 4.5m, the insulation from approximately a 480m length of 18 AW
