When most people think "fire suppression," they think of water-based sprinkler systems, and with good reason. For a long time, these were the most popular types of fire suppression systems. Today, however, there are a number of newer technologies that are starting to make inroads.
Compressed foam is one such fire suppression technology. This works in a similar way to a water-based sprinkler system, but won't damage electrical equipment like computers. Inergen is another type of fire suppressant that isn't new to fire protection specialists, specifically, but might be new to those who aren't familiar with the industry.
There will undoubtedly be more leaps in fire suppression technology as we move toward the future. Just know that water isn't the only source of protection! There are others that can help slow the growth of a fire or extinguish it completely, and actually cut down on damage done by the fire suppression system.
