The data center is critical to the operation of a business. Downtime or damage of any mission-critical equipment can cost heavily on the business, even to the extent of losing credibility. According to secondary research, a fire breakout at OVHcloud’s SBG2 data center in Strasbourg, France, raised concern among enterprises about the vulnerability of the data centers to fire. Root-cause of fire Data centers are a hub of servers, wires, PDUs, and various equipment that operate 24/7 to support the operation of the enterprise. In such scenarios, they generate immense heat that increases the data center's temperature. Additionally, poor ventilation or improper airflow management reduces the cooling capacity of the data center causing fire outbreaks. The hard drives within modern servers require a constant and large power supply causing an overload of the circuit and overheating. Again, the overheating of equipment can result in an electrical short circuit in switches or

Netrack is one of the pioneers in designing and manufacturing rack enclosures. Recently, co-location racks are gaining prominence with the growing importance of data centers. These racks are separate compartments in a single racks that are carefully designed to safeguard critical IT equipment and organise the power/network cables, routers, servers, and switches to enhance the data centre’s capacity and efficiency without access between the compartments. Since the colocation centres are currently in demand with the migration of data by IT enterprises of all sizes, the co-location racks are also gaining popularity. The co-location model demands controlled power supply, monitored cooling, and security features to ensure sustainability, reliability, cost-efficiency, and an eco-friendly approach. The Co-Location Racks, often referred to as server racks, effectively manage the cables and increase the cooling efficiency of the data center environment. To make the co-location racks a
