Market Overview

Information technology (IT) equipment and network infrastructure, commonly referred to as computing and networking equipment, are housed in centralized places called data centers. Network infrastructure includes servers, firewalls, storage systems, gateways, routers, switches, and application delivery controllers for organizing, storing, and managing data and applications. In order to handle, analyze, and distribute vast volumes of data, data centers link businesses with service providers. Instead of buying their own off-site data center, many businesses rent space and networking equipment from one. Data centers that serve numerous businesses are run by third parties and are referred to as multi-tenant or colocation data centers.

According to the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology, there are some guidelines for data center physical security, Data centers should install cameras in all areas of the data center and premises, with motion sensors to start recording when movement is detected. The data should be recorded in digital format and stored on hard disks or tapes for future investigation. There should also be a central monitoring room to monitor the data center and premises. Limit access to essential personnel and implement multi-factor authentication (MFA) to verify users. making certain that everyone accessing the building has undergone numerous authentications via 2FA, access cards, or biometrics. Every six months, have a third-party expert examine the data center's security to look for any vulnerabilities. Use landscape to deter foreign things from entering the site, such as trees, flagpoles, stones, and curved roads. Additionally, erect crash-proof barriers to erect a 100-foot safety zone surrounding the location. If there are windows in the data center, keep them restricted to the administrative or break rooms and utilize laminated glass for security.
