I am thinking that if you cut power, the fire is likely to go out.

Wondering what you guys use? This room has a sprinkler, should I look at
getting it removed? Or build a shield over our racks?
If the fire didn't get us, the water will. Ugh.
Do you mean "a sprinkler" as in one single sprinkler?
One sprinkler is a pretty small space and the smallest double interlock
pre-action valve I've seen is 2". It will remove the water from the
system except as a last resort and prevent accidental discharge (such as
someone breaking it) or leaks.
You can get small clean agent systems, but I'd always recommend a
pre-action sprinkler system with it since it's possible the shock of the
quick opening valve and gas discharge could cause the glass bulb to
break. Also keep in mind a clean agent system can still destroy spinning
media that's not been spun down prior to discharge, especially in small
spaces. If you have a drop ceiling you will need to replace it or modify
it to survive the overpressure of a discharge.
