I used to work at a nonprofit where our server room's fire suppression equipment consisted of a single handheld extinguisher and a "Guardian Angel of Computers" wall hanging. I once asked my boss how long it would take to restore from our offsite backup if a fire trashed the servers, and he (jokingly) asked me not to bring it up because he was trying not to think about it. (As a small nonprofit, there was obviously no budget to refit the room with an inert gas system, or anything like that.)

As a contract sysadmin at many corporations, you'd be baffled at how many don't even consider fire suppression. Last place I showed up to work had a fucking microwave on the server rack because "it was close to the break area".

Not having fire suppressing measures is fine if you have off-site backups and can interrupt your entire activity for several months (do I need a /s?)
