Data security is the top priority of enterprise development

The widespread use of the "Internet of Things" has made the amount of important data more and more huge, and companies need to replace the traditional human data input method with new data processing methods. Cloud data collection and detection can take advantage of the “Internet of Things” to help companies reduce capital, thereby accelerating productivity and increasing profits. Therefore, information resources are an important part of enterprise development. The construction and related security measures are also very important to enterprises, and their effectiveness will directly affect the long-term development of enterprises.

In 2016, corporate development focused more on information security. The data center is an important core to deepen the security protection of information resources. Engineers often overlook the security of physical servers in the data center when dealing with cyber hacking challenges. For example, if an unauthorized person enters the data center and contacts the server, they have the opportunity to steal confidential information directly from the server. Therefore, engineers need to use more comprehensive measures to protect the information stored in the server.

How to protect the security of servers in the data center is a big issue. General data center security measures can prevent unauthorized access, but often fail to implement security measures at the cabinet level, which is a security risk for shared data centers. Engineers must ensure that the cabinet can securely store the server and that the solution used is appropriate for the particular data center environment. For example, some large data centers that use general cabinet locks face the problem of managing hundreds of keys. In addition, how to ensure that individuals entering the data center can only access the designated server is another security consideration. Because the infrastructure of the data center is different, the data center management personnel should select the appropriate cabinet security solution according to the specific environment and needs to reduce the risk of data theft.

The market is full of products, many businesses claim to provide the best security methods for data center engineers, but often do not explain the use of solutions in various environments, combined with management and remote monitoring of the three major considerations. One of them is how to develop a security solution for the cabinet. Due to the different environments in the data center, experienced security solution providers will recommend suitable solutions, such as independent or networked electronic security solutions, to achieve optimal results and improve efficiency.

  Second, engineers can use electronic access control solutions to ban physical keys and use electronic access control solutions to reduce the management of physical keys. The electronic access control system of the cabinet can be installed independently or connected to the network for management. When using a networked electronic access control system, it is easy to add or remove a list of managers in the authorized access list to ensure that authorized personnel can access the server.

  Finally, engineers can use the integrated electronic lock management system for remote monitoring and integration of the cabinet electronic lock system into the existing Data Center Facility Management System (DCIMS) to provide remote monitoring and switch control. The cabinet's electronic access control solution provides the ability to record and track, provide alerts in violation of safe use, and record related activities and reports, such as who activated the electronic lock, the time and duration of activation, and the electronic access Still mechanical and so on.

Environmental usability, integrated management and remote monitoring are the three considerations for choosing a data center solution. Combining these three conditions to select the right electronic management solution will help the development of data center enterprises, and more effective operations in the process, while strengthening the security of the data center.

In the 2016 Shanghai International Data Center Technology and Equipment Exhibition held at the Shanghai New International Expo Center from May 24 to 26 this year, Southco will present a series of data center solutions at its booth T060 in Hall 3, including smart electronics. Locking systems provide the industry with comprehensive data security and monitoring to ensure compliance and prevent the theft of sensitive internal and external data. Southco's solution consists of a stand-alone or networked system that can be added to an existing secure network to provide remote control, monitoring and auditing in any location.
