What is the main risk for a data centre when the water supply fails?
A.
Failure to the water supply could result in IT failure and/or denial of access to operate.
B.
Failure to the water supply could result in DX cooling systems to fail.
C.
Failure to the water supply could cause issues for the cooling of back-up generators.
D.
Failure to the water supply could result in sudden changes of the relative humidity in the Computer room.
The Answer Is:
C
This question includes an explanation.
Explanation:
Back-up generators are essential for providing power to the data centre in case of a utility outage. However, back-up generators also generate a lot of heat, which needs to be dissipated by a cooling system. The cooling system may rely on water supply, either from the municipal network or from a dedicated tank. If the water supply fails, the cooling system may not function properly, leading to overheating and potential damage to the generators. This could compromise the reliability and availability of the data centre power supply and cause downtime or data loss.
