Overview:
Up until now IT managers could not care less about the exact nature of a possible fire in their data centers. Questions such as: what will the maximum temperature of a fire be in the data center; what will the duration of the fire be and; can I influence the above parameters were irrelevant to IT managers. The only question of any interest was Can I extinguish the fire before it evolves? The reason is obvious. If a fire is not extinguished before it develops then, regardless of its temperature and duration, equipment will be destroyed, data will be lost and application outages will be experienced. Equipment can be replaced, but data in another story. If, indeed, a fire develops and data is lost then "All the
king's horses and all the king's men" will not be able to reconstruct the data. Unless very sophisticated and expensive synchronous replication technologies are deployed, at least a portion of the data will be lost forever.

With the introduction of Axxana's Phoenix Black Box, a fire in your data center is not the disaster it once would have been. Designed to withstand heat up to 17,000 F, it's durability could be the difference between recovering your data after a fire and losing everything. Read this paper for more.
