Explanation

An HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) system is an environmental control that regulates temperature and humidity in the datacenter. Its primary purpose is to prevent servers from overheating and shutting down, which directly supports system availability - the 'A' in the CIA triad. If equipment overheats, systems go offline and services become unavailable. HVAC does not protect data integrity (B), confidentiality (C), or address fire suppression (D), which is handled by separate fire suppression systems.
