As someone who has caused a Datacentre to be evacuated by letting off a smoke canister, I speak with some authority ;-) (hey someone has to test these systems). I would hope that the smoke bomb would trigger your fire alarm system which should flood the datacentre with FM200/Halon or whatever which will in all probability kill the intruder before you can get to him/her. How English law treats this I don't know. I guess if you stick a sign up telling potential intruders they may be killed you may get away with it, but the legal fees may add up.
You will have time to evacuate if a Halon installation starts. I guess you would have a minute or so to evacuate the room. During my time with the Dutch DoD one of my fellow workers happened to be in a room where the Halon bursted off. He only sufferd from severe pain in the ears. The noise that comes from the Halon screaming it's way out through the nozzles is terrible and it took him a week before his ears recovered. His longues didn't suffer from the exercise at all.
