Data centers

Disruption to data centers can stop businesses from functioning. Axis video and audio solutions help you operate more efficiently and protect your data centers from perimeter to core.

Protecting the heart of your network

Data centers have always been important, but with the growth of cloud services, virtualization, and hyperscale computing, many organizations now depend on them for day-to-day business operations. Axis integrated video and audio solutions provide multi-layered security to protect these vital assets, from your sites’ perimeter through to your server racks. We deliver secure, comprehensive data center surveillance that lets you monitor your premises with fewer manned patrols. Edge analytics take Axis hardware to a higher level, helping you to efficiently detect and resolve incidents in all areas of your data centers. 

Focus areas

A multi-layered approach to integrated security

An integrated security system from Axis lets you add layers of protection to safeguard your data centers. It can include IP cameras that guard the perimeter and interior of your site, radar technology to detect suspicious movement on your premises, network door stations that control access to specific areas and rooms, two-way loudspeakers to address potential intruders, and video management software to oversee and control everything from a central hub. With this approach, threats are detected and neutralized at an early stage, and registered visitors can enter parts of the facility only in accordance with their clearance level.

Protect your perimeter from unwanted intruders

Thermal and visual cameras, drone detection, and radar technology combine to provide a comprehensive defense with fewer false alarms. Smart analytics automatically alert staff to potential breaches – they can then accurately assess the situation and respond. Loudspeakers let them address trespassers directly.

Keep watch over your entire premises

Spot unexpected movements with radar, then use pan, tilt and zoom (PTZ) or thermal cameras to take a closer look. Automatic alarms can trigger pre-recorded or live audio, or assign security patrols or police. Track intruders across multiple sites from a remote location, protected by best practice cybersecurity.

Restrict access to buildings

Axis provides the hardware and analytics to identify, authenticate, and authorize entry to buildings and rooms. Our access control technology protects critical or vulnerable areas with automatic (key cards, PIN codes, QR codes) or manual authentication (2-way network video and audio).

Extra security for server rooms

Access control doesn’t end at the front door, so Axis lets you assign individual clearance levels to staff and visitors. Server rooms can be further guarded with fingerprint scanners or QR codes, and motion sensors make sure you don’t waste time and digital storage recording empty rooms.

Closeup of server racks

Safe server racks and cabinets

You can protect your server racks against crime and carelessness with alarms and alerts that notify you of open cabinet doors or other unexpected activity. Use network video and audio for verification and to communicate with anyone interfering with the racks.

Improving efficiency in data center security

By centralizing data center surveillance, Axis delivers greater security with fewer resources. Our solutions do not require staff to be constantly viewing every video feed – alarms and alerts let you know when something unexpected happens at your sites. Cutting-edge video and audio analytics increase automation and reduce the need for manned patrols. Axis Device Manager lets you remotely check that your technology is functioning correctly and that all software is up to date – this helps to maximize uptime and reduce cybersecurity risks. Our innovative compression technology lowers network bandwidth usage and reduces storage capacity needs.

Protecting data centers from perimeter to server rack

Axis IP video and audio helps guard your perimeter by combining video and thermal cameras with software that tracks intruders, detects drones, and issues alerts and alarms. Within your premises, access control systems can use facial recognition, smart phone technology, and video intercom to manage entry to buildings, rooms, and even individual server racks. You can also secure data centers against crime and carelessness by employees, by setting up alarms for unusual activity – for example when racks are opened without authorization, when rack doors are left open, or when racks are accessed at unexpected times.

Long-term cybersecurity

Data breaches often succeed by exploiting known vulnerabilities. Axis protects you from avoidable risks by continually hardening cybersecurity on our devices with firmware upgrades, updates, installations, and maintenance tests. Our network video and audio solutions offer encrypted communication, IP address filtering, secure boot, and signed firmware to take cybersecurity to an even higher level. Find out more the Axis approach to cybersecurity here.
