The server in London for all our sales and billing system has caught fire.
Backups? Do you know how much that would cost?!?!

Not as much as a halon system to put the fire out
Guess you must be selling to many things rich

not me!
The Server rooms here have Halon, I would think they have too, but it won't take long to cripple the lot

Halon is old hat.
they use FM200 now. but the best route is a low oxygen environment. No o2 = no fire can start.

Are you still @ Carphone Warehouse Richard? I've just received a case on my desk for them... totally unrelated to your fire, but spooky timing.
