Securing Data Centers – from street to rack

Data is the lifeblood of today’s economy. Every online transaction, every cloud service, every digital interaction depends on secure and uninterrupted access to information. Data centers form the backbone of this digital world. They operate around the clock and must deliver absolute reliability, while facing constant risks from cyber threats, physical intrusion, and regulatory requirements.

Physical security is often underestimated - yet it is the essential first line of defense. Without robust perimeter protection, access control for staff and visitors, and secure server racks, sensitive information remains vulnerable. That’s why leading operators rely on dormakaba.

Spotlight on: Rack security

How to secure the most sensitive point of a data center?

The rack is the heart of every data center - where business-critical information and computing power converge. Yet, many facilities still depend on outdated mechanical locks that leave valuable assets exposed. dormakaba rack locks redefine rack protection by combining advanced electromechanical locking technology with modular authentication options such as RFID, PIN, fingerprint, or two-factor authentication. The result is unmatched flexibility, security, and control.

Our intelligent rack locks integrate effortlessly with existing IT infrastructures, including LDAP, Active Directory, SNMP, and Syslog. This seamless connectivity allows centralized management and complete traceability of every access event. Each attempt to open a rack is logged in real time, empowering operators to meet compliance standards and react instantly to any irregularities.

From large-scale colocation facilities to enterprise and edge data centers, dormakaba rack locks ensure that only authorized personnel can access the most sensitive hardware - safeguarding uptime, data integrity, and customer trust.
