I totally am sold on fire sprinklers. They're installed in my house. Yeah, they'll wreck the room they come on in, but will save the rest of the house. I also read that, in the US, nobody ever died from fire in a building where there were sprinklers that were not disabled.

Even counting 9-11, as the plane crash cut the water pipes.

But still, relying on sprinklers to save your IT business is a bad idea. Offsite backups are needed.

Yep, totally agreed. Resiliency comes from having offsite backups, cold/warm standby sites, testing your backups and ability to switch to the DR site, etc. The sprinklers are mainly about saving human lives.
