Environmental and security monitoring of the server room

MÜNSTER, Germany - June 1, 2021 - PRLog -- To protect the sensitive hardware and data, it is recommended to monitor the security of these with appropriate sensors. When the IT or server room is entered and the door of the server cabinet is opened, this should not go unnoticed. There is sensitive data on the server that should be protected at all costs. Even if the server cabinet is locked, magnetic contacts as well as vibration detectors should be installed. If windows are present, it is advisable to equip them with glass breakage detectors. Furthermore, motion detectors in the IT and server room should detect and report any activity.
