Caged Areas
If you require a more private, secure environment than co-location, we can provide additional security in the form of a cage area for customers requiring 5 racks or more.
These cages are tough wire framed structures that completely encloses your equipment and separates it from the rest of the data floor. Access to the cages is only provided to named individuals on your authorised personnel list and is via lockable doors requiring two-factor authentication to gain access. Additional biometric security can also be provided if required. The caged area can be also used as your own work area for storing equipment or tools so you don’t have to bring them with you every time your visit.
