Access Control for Data Centres
June 2016 by Marc Jacob
Data Centres is a challenging domain, the success of which depends on security of client data. Most data centres store data of more than one organisation. It is very crucial for the data centre to prevent any unauthorised access of data. Matrix offers a solution whereby data racks get secured biometrically with records of every access along with its duration. Only authorised person can get access of specific rack for the stipulated time using biometric verification.
How it works?
Data Centre Authentication: User shows biometric credentials to access the data centre
Data Centre Access allowed: Once, user is allowed with the Access, he will move towards rack access authentication
Rack Authentication: User will click on the screen and provide biometric credentials to the device placed along with the screen
Rack Selection: Once user provides biometric authentication to get the rack access, he will be able to select the racks from the rack accessible list that he wants to access
Rack access allowed: Finally, the user will perform his assigned task within duration time period
Features:
• Centralized Biometric Authentication
• Pre-defined Rack Access
• Integration with video Surveillance
• Rack accessible for a defined time period
Benefits:
From Data Centre point of view:
• Easy maintenance of diverse data
• Accurate record of access allowed/denied in the software
• No manual security required
• Easy data rack management of various companies in a single location
From Companies securing data at data centres:
• Complete security of company data
• Accurate records of who accessed data at what time
