Safety and security solutions for data centers

Secure assets and facilities, minimise risk and ensure regulation of all areas in the data center

In technology and data centers with such a high focus on security, it’s important to control and monitor access to all areas and assets on a granular level.

Your business is technology, and you’ve done everything to physically protect your critical data facilities, chosen the proper location, built a secure structure, limited entry points, and installed cameras, redundant power systems and layers of interior security.

After taking all of these strict measures, where is your organisation still vulnerable?

The personnel and IT contractors working inside your data center must be held fully accountable for the critical systems they maintain each day. Traka solutions help you manage and track the use of server rack keys, laptops, hard disks and other physical assets, giving you total control over what is accessed inside your facility.

As the leading global specialist in key, equipment and asset management solutions, Traka has proven to be a critical part of the security infrastructure for data centers around the world. This is due our ability to integrate into the systems you already use, making administration simple, and making your keys and assets work for your facility like never before.

Applications

Traka offers effective security solutions for any data facility, which can be centrally managed and monitored from your existing access control or security platform.

  • Traka key cabinet installed in data center

    Facility key management

    Traka key cabinets provide controlled, automated access to keys and access badges for authorized staff and contractors with no oversight required.

  • IT workers opening server rack door with key

    Server rack management

    Strictly manage and track access to server rack keys for total staff accountability, and maintain a 24/7 audit trail of all rack door access and user activity.

  • Person returning a shared tablet to a Traka locker

    Device management

    Secure and manage access to shared electronic devices, with centralized control and monitoring, and options for integrated charging and per-item tracking.

  • Traka personnel locker for temporary deposit of personal items

    Personnel deposit lockers

    Provide convenient and safe temporary storage for personal items in shared workspaces, or outside restricted areas where specific items are not permitted.

How it works

  1. User stores personal items (wallet, phone, keys) in Traka locker
  2. User collects access cards to access airlock and data racks
  3. Before entering the data hall, user collects key from Traka key cabinet to gain entry to data server racks.
  4. User cannot exit the Air lock until key is returned to cabinet.

Manage physical keys and provide secure, convenient access

Integrate the physical security and management of data center keys and assets with your core systems and processes. 

 

  • Integrate with security management

    Integrate the physical security and management of keys with your core systems and processes. 

  • Book keys & generate requests

    Enable users to book access to keys and equipment as part of their request for scheduled access to the facility.

  • Maintenance window curfew

    Set a window within which a key can be collected and returned in line with a work schedule. Receive email notifications when a key is not returned.

  • Access a full audit trail

    Log all key access to server racks with time and date stamps. Integrate with your monitoring tools to provide a consolidated view of real-time data.

  • Ensure only authorized access

    Apply physical access control in the same way you grant access to zones. Limit access based on shift patterns or grant one-time access for a specific event. 

  • Have full visibililty

    Every event/action that takes place at the cabinet is audited so users cannot trick the system.

  • Follow best practice

    Configure your system to match your core processes and prove that best practice is followed in an audit trail. 

  • Enforce compliance

    Reduce manual processes and effortlessly align with regulatory compliance requirements.
