Data centers
Disruption to data centers can stop businesses from functioning. Axis solutions for critical entities help you operate more efficiently and protect your data centers from perimeter to core.
Protecting the most valuable assets
With the ever-increasing demand for real-time data, AI, cloud computing, and edge technologies, the role of data centers has become
more critical than ever. As the investments in infrastructure increases rapidly to meet these demands, so does challenges that require innovative solutions and strategic collaboration. Axis integrated surveillance technologies provide multi-layered security to protect these vital assets, from your sites’ perimeter through to your server racks. We deliver comprehensive data center security that lets you monitor your premises with fewer manned patrols. AI analytics helps 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.
Safe server racks and cabinets
Protect your server racks with alarms and alerts that notify you of open cabinet doors or other unexpected activity. With a small cylinder-shaped form factor AXIS F2107-RE offers discretion. Thanks to its small size, it's ideal for installation in tight spaces as server racks.
More than surveillance
Axis solutions do much more than spotting potential crimes. For example, they can include applications to detect heat, smoke and flooding, and object-based analytics to recognize people or items. These can then trigger automated actions like altering the room temperature or sounding an alarm. The result is that your Axis system effectively takes care of tasks that might otherwise require significant labor-hours. Analytics can also transform video images into useful information about your data centers. Read more about analytics.
Cut the storage, not the quality
Axis technology minimizes storage and bandwidth needs too. Our Zipstream technology was revolutionary when it launched
in 2015, and it has pushed new boundaries ever since. Zipstream is a collection of dynamic algorithms that analyze video footage in real time, so that the most critical footage is captured in the greatest detail while unnecessary data is removed. As a result, network bandwidth usage and storage requirements can be dramatically reduced without compromising image quality or missing areas of forensic interest.
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.
