A COMMON SENSE APPROACH TO PHYSICAL SECURITY

Today's data-intensive digital economy relies upon datacenters as the engine for growth. With the adoption of cloud computing and AI-enabled applications, the demand for large-scale datacenters to store and process data is exploding. By January 2025, the U.S. was the country with the most datacenters in the world - 5,381¹. At a projected CAGR (Compounded Annual Growth Rate) of 10.7%² there will be an additional 3,500+ datacenters in the U.S. by 2030. All will require some form of physical access and egress door control solutions integrated into their security measures.

No amount of perimeter intrusion detection, video analytics, network security, data encryption, multi-factor authentication or data backup is effective unless the last line of defense, the doors to the facility - both exterior and interior – are safe and secure. As the industry's door control experts, we've applied our decades of innovative and proven access and egress control expertise to the physical security of datacenters. Microsoft has integrated SDC access and egress control hardware for use in datacenters. Our solutions are designed to mitigate risk while protecting people, property and assets – hardware, software, network and data – from burglary, theft, terrorism and other events that could cause damage to an enterprise or institution.
