I'm experimenting with a product called Inergen.  Similar idea to 
others in the past: reduce the oxygen concentration to a level where 
fire cannot be sustained yet people can still function.  The Inergen 
formulation is some combination of nitrogen, argon, and carbon 
dioxide.  Big sales point is no CFCs or ozone depletion (the reason 
Halon was discontinued in the US).

We've installed the system for our main data center.  Have not had 
the mandatory dump for the fire department yet.  Will soon.
