There are plenty of effective options besides environmentally-destructive Halon, dangerous-to-equipment water 
sprinkler, or dangerous-to-personnel CO2 for fire suppression these days. Some of the most common today are foam 
systems like FM-200 or 3m's Novec. 

Novec and Solvay’s Galden are not really that much better than Halon. I guess it come down to which halogen do you want 
to release? Chlorine or Ffuorine?
