Electrorack Releases Newest Article on its ePulse Blog:  Data Center Security Best Practices

Anaheim, CA – July 25, 2012 – Electrorack recently posted its newest article, Data Center Security Best Practices, on its ePulse Info Center at www.electrorack.com.

“Data center security plans must focus on two main threats – those stemming from natural elements and those stemming from human attacks,” said Todd Schneider, Electrorack’s Director of Marketing.  “By carefully evaluating the main criteria of data center security, companies can identify ways in which they are adequately protected, and, more important, ways in which they are vulnerable.”

Excerpt from Data Center Security Best Practices:

Data center security can vary depending on the size and type of facility, but it is always a matter of extreme importance. While large data centers run by major IT companies will employ a wide range of security measures, including the possibility of terrorist attacks and infiltration by corporate spies, most facilities will not need such levels of security.

Here are some of the main aspects of data center security to consider:  location, perimeter, building, site monitoring, redundancy, access control, and data security and privacy.

“Of course cost is always a factor, especially for smaller companies,” added Todd.  “That’s why a detailed evaluation is critical.  Companies should identify the factors that pose the most threat – externally and internally – and develop a security plan that best addresses those areas.  Planning and prioritizing are the keys to confidence in any data security plan.”
