<p class="MsoNormal">Hi All,<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I followed with interest the discussion some months back about a fire suppression system malfunction at Global Switch causing damage to hard drives.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Someone raised the issue of insurance and liability – I didn’t see a response, and being the paranoid person I am, decided to investigate further.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">After an uncomfortable conversation with my broker about inadvertent gas release (heh) he chased it up with our insurer/underwriter – a major one.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">“From my discussions with XXX Insurance it has been determined that should a fire trigger the gas suppression system at an insured third party data centre which
causes damage to your contents then your policy will respond.”<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif""><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">“Should there be damage sustained due to say a fault in the suppression system, then there will be no cover.”<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif""><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">We are currently evaluating whether the policy can be endorsed/extended to include cover for this scenario, otherwise I think we will switch insurers – I just don’t
feel comfortable working with Murphy’s Insurance any more.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif""><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">If anyone has any insight into specialist or knowledgeable insurers, would be great to hear on or off-list.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif""><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Cheers,<u></u><u></u></span></p>
