Because surely every smoke detector will work while the building is burning down…

most data centers are made out of concrete and isolate fires.

My point is that while the failure rate may be low the failure method is dude burns to death in a locked server room. Even classified room protocols place safety of personnel over safety of data in an emergency.

Being in a server room with FM200 fire control is the safest place to be in a fire.

> They should really divide data centers into zones and only unlock doors inside a zone where smoke is detected.

just make sure the zone based door lock/unlock system isn't on AWS ;)
