Physical Security

Physical security is considered equally as important as our network security infrastructure. Our data center has been designed to prevent unauthorized access, theft, fire and other physical threats. Our facility is physically located below ground shielding us from direct exposure to outside elements. It is monitored 24/7 using biometric technology, closed circuit security camera network, and a physical alarm system.

Access into our data center is controlled by a two-factor authentication process. We have incorporated the latest biometric hand scan technology as well as require a unique key badge to be scanned. Our outside access points also include video camera phones which allow us to communicate with outside visitors. Access within our facility is also restricted which ensures only the associates with a business need have access to certain areas.

Our entire facility is monitored by our closed circuit security camera network where the footage is digitally stored. Our system is made up of fixed point and pan-tilt-zoom cameras. The facility can be monitored and managed remotely over the Enterhost internal IP network.

Our data center is equipped with the Very Early Smoke Detection Apparatus (VESDA) system which samples the air for early warnings of an impending fire. This system allows us to make a visual inspection in low-threat situations, make a manual deployment of the dry pipe fire suppression in mid-level threats or initiate an automatic deployment of the dry pipe fire suppression system in the event a high-threat alarm is detected.
