Data Center Security

Security Challenge
Data Centers have numerous racks, often located in a confined space, containing large amounts of data. Security issues in this environment are numerous. Access to the room and to individual racks is required by many people for any number of reasons at all times of the day.

While room access control is needed, it does not address the issue of control and monitoring of individual racks. Keys, the typical security control at the rack, are difficult to manage and a key system does not give the ability to audit access.

E-LINE by DIRAK Solution
MLR product line is best suited for data center applications.

MLR products give the security manager the tools necessary to control, monitor and report access to these business critical racks. The MLR handles can be integrated into existing security management systems or used with the E-LINE by DIRAK Administration Suite which can give the security manager all the tools necessary to secure at the rack level.

This control can be done both locally and remotely.

Co-Location Center Security

Security Challenge
Co-location centers are data centers in which separate, distinct customer areas are managed together. Such centers are becoming increasingly popular. Customers can use the co-location centers to house their racks foregoing the need to invest the capital required to build a facility.

While most co-location centers provide access control to the room, the racks of individual customers still need to be additionally secured against unauthorized access. This is normally accomplished by installing costly space consuming wire cages equipped with separate access control systems.

Inside the cages, however, the problem still exists. If a technician should not be allowed access to all racks, the person responsible for security must have constant monitoring, documenting and access control of the individual racks. This can be a burdensome and error prone activity when done manually. With the right solution, the management of the co-location center can provide their customers with complete documentation of all events occurring with their racks.

Decentralized Data Center Security

Security Challenge
Decentralized data centers with racks in different buildings and locations place additional requirements on access control security systems. Decentralized data centers are often managed from a central location. It must be possible to manage accesses to distributed individual racks anywhere in the world. Security at the room level could be different for each location depending on local needs and requirements.

Even though the racks are normally protected with locks, security risk is inherent in the way keys must be managed. Making and issuing keys, their loss or duplication, and reclaiming them from employees, contractors or service technicians require a very complex, time-consuming key management system that is fraught with error. The ability to audit access to the individual racks is difficult if done at all.

Individual Rack Security

Security Challenge
Individual racks can contain extremely critical information for the organization. Usually owned by small to medium size companies, these racks can contain most of the data necessary for ongoing operations of the company or organization.

These racks are most commonly located in office areas adjacent to the organization. Even though they may be protected with locks, the security risk is inherent in the way keys must be managed. Making and issuing keys, their loss or duplication, and reclaiming them from employees, contractors or service technicians require a very complex, time-consuming key management system that is fraught with error. The ability to audit access to the racks is difficult if done at all.

Kiosk Security

Security Challenge
A kiosk presents special challenges for security managers. Located in areas of high public traffic, the enclosures must be highly secure but still have accessibility for a variety of reasons.

Even though they may be protected with locks, the security risk is inherent in the way keys must be managed. Making and issuing keys, their loss or duplication, and reclaiming them from employees, contractors or service technicians require a very complex, time-consuming key management system that is fraught with error. The ability to audit access to the racks is difficult if done at all.

Public Area Enclosure Security

Security Challenge
Enclosures in public areas are subject to special risks since they are usually not under constant surveillance and can be located in remote areas. Enclosures in outdoor areas that are freely accessible require special latches to protect them against vandalism or theft of raw materials (e.g., copper).

Even though they may be protected with high security locks, risk is inherent in the way keys must be managed. Making and issuing keys, their loss or duplication, and reclaiming them from employees or service technicians require a very complex, time-consuming key management system that is fraught with error. The ability to audit access to the racks is difficult if done at all. In addition, oversights, such as a service technician who has not closed the door properly can compromise security of the enclosure.

Sensitive Material Storage Security

Security Challenge
In many organizations, cabinets may store not only sensitive information but also sensitive material such as drugs, samples and legal documents. Cabinets in hospitals, labs and offices are only a few examples.

Even though cabinets may be protected with locks, the security risk is inherent in the way keys must be managed. Making and issuing keys, their loss or duplication, and reclaiming them from employees, contractors or service technicians require a very complex, time-consuming key management system that is fraught with error. The ability to audit access to the cabinets is difficult if done at all.
