Access Control
At Colocation America, our facilities are always open to our customers. If you have rack space with us, feel free to come visit your servers. Any visitors who come to one of our data centers will be required to show their identification, which will be logged in the system with a time stamp.
Physical Security
When a visitor is granted access to the data center, they will pass through the data center entrance, which will be locked with electronic access control systems. All of the cabinets and cages in all of our data centers are also secured and locked, so your data is always kept private.
Each access point requires a code-based electronic card to enter, which means that every visitor requires an employee to escort them into the data center. All visitors will be supervised by an employee for the entire time they are in the data center.
