Data Center Security Solutions

There is a lot of software and hardware that are used end-to-end to ensure that data centers function properly and do not lose data. In this article, we will mention the electronic security systems in the data centers.

The electronic security systems consist of Fire Detection and Alarm, Access Control and CCTV and Video Control Systems. With these systems, physical security of the data centers can be ensured.

Fire Detection in Data Centers

In Fire Detection and Alarm Systems, Very Sensitive Air Extractive Smoke Detection Systems are suitable for full data centers. These detectors guarantee the high performance you need in any application where smoke detection with conventional methods is difficult and the results are insufficient. Regardless of whether your data center is too clean, too high, too narrow, or too unattainable, these detectors make it possible to detect a sensitive and stable fire. Almost all of the Fire Detection Systems we have recently installed in the data centers have been built with Very Sensitive Air Extractive Smoke Detection Systems.

Access Control Solutions in Data Centers

With the Access Control Systems, all entries and exits in data centers can be recorded. For the highest level of security, it is recommended to use double-door human traps called as “mantrap” when entering into the data centers. Accesses can be authorized with the systems such as palm scanning, iris scanning, face recognition. With these systems, all time spent by the personnel inside can be recorded. If further control is required, RFID tags can be used to record exactly in front of which cabinet and for how long the personnel have worked.

CCTV and Video Control Systems in Data Centers

CCTV and Video Control Systems record the entire activity visually. In the case of any unfavorableness, it can be determined at what time and in which place the people are. Various scenarios can be created with smart analytical software on the cameras. The density analysis of the entire data center can be obtained. The statistics such as how much time people spent in which cabinets, which roads they used, which cabinets were more occupied between specific time periods can be kept. The personnel who fainted can be detected by camera analysis.

Management of Security in Data Centers

All security systems can operate as integrated with each other with upper-grade software. All detectors, readers, sensors and cameras can be placed on the same map and monitored and controlled with a single click. The building and the data center can exchange data through the management systems.
