Data Center

The Foundation for Data Center Security:

Power and Data Transmission

Data centers are the backbone of our nation’s digital infrastructure, making them prime targets for both cyber and physical threats. While cybersecurity is critical, physical security is equally important with breaches leading to data theft, service disruptions, and reputational damage.

This requires several layers of physical security protection including the perimeter, facility entry/egress points and mission critical interior locations such as server rooms and environmental systems.

A wide array of security edge devices can be deployed at each of these locations ranging from video surveillance, access control, intrusion detection, and numerous different types of sensors capable of detecting different types of anomalous activities.

As different as these security devices may be, they all rely on reliable power and data transmission solutions.

At the Perimeter

Threat mitigation at large data centers demands the deployment of wide scale and extended security systems that are increasingly more intelligent and effective. By leveraging new advancements in long range power and data transmission, data centers benefit from more resilient, scalable security frameworks that extend the electronic security perimeter, enhance system reliability, and streamline installation and maintenance processes, ultimately increasing overall security protections.

The latest advancements in hardened Power over Ethernet (PoE) solutions that utilize fiber and/or composite cable to simultaneously deliver power and data, reducing the need for localized power sources, making it easier to deploy edge devices at greater distances.

Altronix NetWay Spectrum hardened PoE switches are available with integral rapid battery chargers to keep systems up and running 24/7. Aside from powering devices in the event of a power failure, these highly integrated power and data transmission solutions power security cameras, illuminators, sensors, wi-fi points, and more, with or without available local power.

For example, security cameras and sensors mounted on light poles in parking lots are often powered by the same power used for the lighting. When the lights are not on or power is lost, security is still needed. New integrated hardened PoE solutions with integral rapid battery chargers are able to provide power to cameras and supporting devices during the day when the power source is off. The system now running on extended battery backup, can also then transmit real-time data communications via fiber back to the data center’s security headend, maintaining full surveillance and security monitoring 24/7. This clever combination of features resolves a longstanding and costly problem for perimeter surveillance.
