Server components, drives, and networking hardware carry resale value and sensitive data alike, and a facility without exit-point scrutiny has no reliable way to detect equipment walking out the door, whether through theft or simple procedural error.The solution is treating video surveillance as one component of a layered physical security architecture rather than a standalone deterrent. When camera placement, access control, rack sensors,…

A comprehensive approach to physical security for data centers now assumes that unauthorized access can originate from inside the building just as easily as outside it. This means credentialing needs to be granular rather than binary - a technician might need access to a cooling unit corridor but never to a rack containing a client's compute nodes. Facilities that still rely on a single master key or one shared access card for an entire server room are operating with a 1990s security model applied to infrastructure worth far more than it was thirty years ago.
