KitLock bringt Flexibilität für den Schrankzugang in Peer-1-Rechenzentren

Peer 1 Hosting bietet eine Reihe von Rechenzentrumsdienstleistungen an, darunter Managed Hosting, dedizierte Server, Colocation und Cloud Computing. 

Colocation-Dienste werden in Peer 1-Rechenzentren angeboten, die so ausgestattet und konfiguriert sind, dass sie den Kunden einen sicheren Zugang zu Racks und Käfigen ermöglichen. Die Kunden von Peer 1 mieten die Serverschränke und -käfige und verwalten ihre eigene Hardware. Peer 1 verfügt über hochmoderne Colocation-Einrichtungen in 10 großen Stadtzentren in Nordamerika und Europa. 

Der Data Centre Operations Manager von Peer 1, Mike Duncan, ist dafür verantwortlich, dass jeder Serverschrank sicher verschlossen und für andere Colocation-Kunden unzugänglich ist. Vor der Nutzung KitLock digitalen Schlössern wurde jeder Schrank mit einem maßgeschneiderten Vorhängeschloss und Schlüssel verschlossen.

“To control access from the outside, we use high-tech security solutions. Yet on the inside we still used old-fashioned padlocks and keys,” explains Mr Duncan. “At full capacity our data centres could have up to a thousand locked cabinets and that’s a huge number of keys to manage and find space for”. 

“The feedback from customers was also negative. Many of their technicians and service support staff forgot to bring the padlock key with them when they visited the data centre. So while they were able to enter the building with biometric access control, they were not able to get instant access to their cabinet. If a customer forgets their padlock key, they have to wait while a Peer 1 member of staff locates the master key and opens the cabinet for them. When the customer is finished, the cabinet is relocked and the key safely stored. Not only does this slow the customer down, but it also costs them money as there is a charge for our time.” 

“Our customers also told us that the problem wouldn’t be so bad if keys were not forgotten or lost on such a regular basis. If a key is lost, often the customers choose to replace the entire locking system, again this is an additional cost but necessary in order to maintain security.”

 

Peer 1 Hosting beschloss, nach einer moderneren und funktionelleren Alternative zu den Vorhängeschlössern zu suchen - eine Alternative, die ihren Kunden eine bessere Kontrolle über den Zugang zu ihrer eigenen Hardware innerhalb des Gebäudes ermöglichen würde.

 

 

Keyless mit KitLock

KitLock KL1200 ist eine schlüsselloses Digitalschloss speziell für die Sicherung von Schränken und Schließfächern entwickelt. Es bietet einen einfachen Zugang über eine Tastatur ohne lästige Schlüssel. Stattdessen wird der Zugang durch die Eingabe eines vierstelligen Codes auf dem Tastenfeld gewährt. Mit KitLock kann ein achtstelliger Mastercode zum einfachen Löschen und Zurücksetzen der Zugangscodes verwendet werden. Ein KitLock KL1200 bietet 50.000 Öffnungen mit nur zwei AAA-Batterien.

 

“One of my colleagues started looking online for keyless cabinet locks, and found the KitLock website,” said Mr Duncan. “The KitLock 1200 exactly matched our requirements in terms of functionality, so we decided to retrofit all of the cabinets installed at our data centre with this product.”

 

 

Positives Feedback

 

“Due to the sensitivity of the equipment in the cabinets, we keep a record of the Master Codes for each KitLock, and customers maintain their own access codes,” added Mr Duncan. “If a customer forgets their code, we can generate a new one at the touch of a button and without incurring any additional costs. Customers are much happier with the new system, it’s far less time consuming and I don’t have to worry about keys anymore!”

 

Regelmäßige Änderungen des Zugangscodes stellen sicher, dass ein KitLock wirksam bleibt und verhindern, dass die Codes missbraucht oder weitergegeben werden.

 

“Codelocks has been super-helpful throughout the whole process, and I’ve really enjoyed working with them,” continued Mr Duncan. “They added our logo to the lock handles and changed the factory-set Master Codes on all of the locks before they were shipped to us, which significantly speeds up the installation process.”

 

KitLock ist eine Marke von Codelocks Ltd. Codelocks ist ein innovativer Designer und Hersteller von elektronische Druckknopfschlösser für Türen, Schränke und Schließfächer.
