Is Your Air Conditioning An IT Risk?

Have you had the air conditioning serviced lately? What happens if it fails? How will your insurance cover you?

Cautionary Tale

Recently while talking to a customer, I was told about a situation you never want to be in. The air conditioning system had failed in the IT room and yes, you guessed it, had caused severe damage!

After spending a large sum of money on their IT gear our customer is now waiting to see what the insurance payout will be and what equipment will be able to be salvaged. They don’t know where this might leave them given that all of the systems they were running were critical to their business.

Tip 

It’s also worth ensuring that your landlords check air conditioning systems regularly. To ensure you have some control over the situation, you can ask landlords for reports on air conditioning. Also, make sure your insurance is up to date and accurately reflects the equipment you have in place.
