Infomart Data Centers’ Dallas Facility Undergoes Security Transformation
Infomart Dallas, the largest aggregation of data centers and technology-intensive tenants under one roof, steps up physical security.
Infomart Data Centers has announced significant, building-wide security enhancements to its iconic Infomart Dallas facility. As the Dallas facility evolved into the primary connectivity point for the Southern U.S. and the largest data center in Texas, the security profile of the building increased greatly. The enhanced security features include a new security operations center, updated access controls, additional surveillance capabilities, and an expanded security staff. Along with the physical security upgrades, building management also formed a Security Council with a group of representatives from building tenants to collaborate on new access and visitor management policies and procedures.
Infomart will integrate the new security measures in two stages, with the first enhancements to be deployed by early September, and the second stage completed by the close of 2016. The initial stage of security upgrades to Infomart Dallas will focus on entrance access and visitor management, including badge access control devices across all building entrances, the aforementioned new security operations center that will be positioned in the front lobby, additional camera coverage throughout the campus, as well as a 54% increase in security staffing. The second phase of enhancements will be completed by year-end and will include a new building security system, increased site fencing, call boxes, additional surveillance, and queuing lanes allowing for proper vetting of deliveries. When complete, the security features at Infomart Dallas will be consistent with those at the world’s leading mega data centers.
