Can Electro Magnetic Fields (EMF) cause data centre failures?

Suggested Answer: A Vote an answer

According to the EPI Data Centre Training Framework, EMF is a form of electromagnetic interference (EMI) that can disrupt or damage the normal operation of electronic devices, such as servers, network cables, and IT equipment1. High levels of EMF can be generated by power equipment, cell phones, microwaves, TV and radio signals, etc., and can cause data corruption, data loss, system malfunction, and crashes23. Therefore, EMF can cause data centre failures and affect the availability, performance, and security of the data centre. To prevent or mitigate EMF, data centres should follow the best practices for data centre design, layout, cabling, grounding, shielding, and testing14.
