Rack-Level Physical Remote Access Security for Datacenters via Resource Manager Monitoring and Management Platform Introduced by AFCO Systems
In order to ensure data integrity as well as privacy and compliance with industry and government regulations such as HIPAA it is extremely important that there should be physical security inside datacenters and co-location (co-lo) facilities. And while room access is protected via keys, codes and biometric devices, individual cabinet-level security has often required additional structures such as gates and individual rooms within the datacenter. To improve this situation for datacenter managers, IT professionals and facilities managers, AFCO Systems has added remote access security capabilities to its AFCO Resource Manager real-time power and cooling performance management tool. Resource Manager now enables datacenter and facilities staff to remotely provide individual access to specific AFCO datacenter enclosures outfitted with electronic locks.
