Security requirements in data processing centers make installation of totally reliable cable and pipe sealing systems a must
Data centers are the backbone of the digital economy, housing massive volumes of critical information. While cybersecurity often takes the spotlight, physical risks such as fires, floods, and pests are equally dangerous. Modular sealing systems have become an indispensable solution to safeguard these infrastructures, ensuring operational integrity and extending the lifespan of their components.
Why do data centers need modular sealing systems?
Data centers demand specific protective measures to maintain a secure environment for sensitive equipment. Modular sealing systems address multiple threats:
1. Fire protection
Fire poses one of the greatest risks to data centers. Modular sealing systems prevent the spread of fire through cable and pipe penetrations, acting as effective barriers.
2. Flood prevention
Water ingress, whether from leaks or external flooding, can cause catastrophic damage. These systems ensure airtight seals to block any liquid entry.
3. Pest control
Insects and rodents can chew through cables, causing service disruptions. Sealing systems act as physical barriers to keep pests out.
4. Acoustic and thermal insulation
Beyond physical protection, these systems contribute to acoustic comfort and energy efficiency, both vital for data center operations.
Key benefits of modular sealing systems for data centers
Adaptability and flexibility
Designed to fit various cable and pipe sizes, modular systems allow for customized installations tailored to each project.
Regulatory compliance
Certified under international standards like ISO 9001 and ATEX, modular systems guarantee maximum safety and quality.
Durability and cost reduction
Built with robust materials, they offer extended service life, reducing the need for frequent repairs or replacements.
