How much square footage would need to be dedicated to the tanks and infrastructure of the FM-200 system for 100,000 square foot facility? Is the FM-200 system even applicable in this instance with such a large amount of space? Thanks! Software/Hardware used: datacenter
What do you use as your method of data center fire suppression? Water-based? Waterless agents? What led you to your decision?

If I have to choose between an FE-25 based fire supression system or one using the more common FM-200 why would I choose one over the other? Which one is superior in a data center application?
Is there a height limit when installing an FM200 system. I have noted in my research that many have stated a 12 foot maximum ceiling height, but I am unable to determine if this is across the board.
I am on a team which writes data center standards for our multi-state firm. Do you know of an on-line resource to verify which version of NFPA 70 (the NEC) is presently adopted for use, by state?
