Data Centers
The perimeter is the critical first line of defense. Physical barriers, intelligent access control, turnstiles and gates ensure controlled entry, while electronic readers and centralized systems verify and monitor every access point. Combined with fire safety and emergency exit solutions, they keep unauthorized individuals out, protect people and ensure regulatory compliance—safeguarding uninterrupted operations.

At the building entrance, sensor barriers and electronic access control enable secure management of people flow. They can control individual passage and detect unauthorized tailgating or access attempts. At the same time, access rights and access events can be centrally managed and tracked.

Data halls and server floors host the most sensitive IT equipment — and downtime is not an option. dormakaba combines smart readers, biometrics, mobile credentials and personnel interlocks to ensure only verified personnel reach restricted zones. Automated doors enable seamless movement while maintaining strict security. The result: maximum uptime, minimum disruption.

In colocation data centres, customers share infrastructure—but security boundaries must remain crystal clear. dormakaba solutions enable granular access rights for customer cages, meet-me rooms and interconnection zones, tailored by person, time and location. This keeps each tenant’s environment isolated, secure and audit-ready—building trust and simplifying compliance.

The rack is the heartbeat of every data centre, housing business-critical servers and information. Sophisticated electronic rack locks provide controlled, auditable access down to each cabinet. Integrated monitoring logs every access attempt, ensuring traceability, compliance and complete control at the most sensitive level.

Securing a data centre is never a one-time project—it’s a continuous journey. From planning to daily operation and modernization, expert consulting, installation, maintenance and rapid support keep systems running flawlessly.
Sustainable, future-ready solutions keep data centres secure, reliable and efficient - today and tomorrow.

Maximum security for IT and network cabinets.
Smart rack security with two-factor authentication, real-time monitoring and configurable access control—seamlessly integrated across standard cabinet systems, from single racks to entire data centres.
