KitLock apporte de la flexibilité à l'accès aux armoires dans les centres de données Peer 1

Peer 1 Hosting propose une gamme de services de centre de données, notamment l'hébergement géré, les serveurs dédiés, la colocation et l'informatique en nuage. 

Les services de colocation sont proposés dans les centres de données de Peer 1, équipés et configurés pour permettre un accès sécurisé des clients aux baies et aux cages. Les clients de Peer 1 louent les armoires et les cages de serveurs et gèrent leur propre matériel. Peer 1 dispose d'installations de colocation à la pointe de la technologie dans 10 grandes villes d'Amérique du Nord et d'Europe. 

Le responsable des opérations du centre de données de Peer 1, Mike Duncan, est chargé de veiller à ce que chaque armoire de serveur soit verrouillée en toute sécurité et inaccessible aux autres clients de la colocation. Avant d'utiliser KitLock des serrures numériques, chaque armoire étant verrouillée par un cadenas et une clé sur mesure.

“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 a décidé de chercher une alternative plus moderne et plus fonctionnelle aux cadenas - une alternative qui permettrait à ses clients de mieux contrôler l'accès à leur propre matériel à l'intérieur du bâtiment.

 

 

Sans clé avec KitLock

KitLock KL1200 est un serrure numérique sans clé conçu spécialement pour sécuriser les armoires et les casiers. Il offre un accès simple par clavier sans avoir à utiliser de clés. L'accès se fait en entrant un code à quatre chiffres sur le clavier. Avec KitLock, un code maître à huit chiffres peut être utilisé pour supprimer et réinitialiser facilement les codes d'accès. Un KitLock KL1200 permet 50 000 ouvertures avec seulement deux piles AAA.

 

“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.”

 

 

Rétroaction positive

 

“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!”

 

Des changements réguliers de code d'accès garantissent l'efficacité du KitLock et empêchent l'utilisation abusive ou la transmission des codes.

 

“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 est une marque de Codelocks Ltd. Codelocks est un concepteur et un fabricant innovant de serrures électroniques à bouton-poussoir pour les portes, les armoires et les casiers.
