Do you remember last year's fire in the OVH data center? What did the fire protection measures in the data center look like at that time?

The recent article on DataCenterDynamics highlights serious concerns regarding a fire incident at the OVHcloud data center in Strasbourg. According to the report, the SBG2 building featured wooden ceilings, which raises significant safety issues for such facilities. Additionally, the building lacked a fire extinguishing system, emphasizing a lack of adequate fire safety measures. The article also points out the absence of an automatic power cut-off, which may have contributed further to the fire's escalation. The issue of safety in data centers is becoming increasingly paramount in light of such incidents, as many businesses rely on data availability. The conclusions drawn from this report could prompt other data centers to reassess their safety measures and to implement stricter regulations and technical solutions.
