Disaster recovery and business continuity
planning is part of everyday working life with
firewalls and antivirus software installed as
standard to mitigate the risk of unwanted system crash and associated disruption. What about the room itself?
- Is the building fabric sufficient to protect the valuable hardware it contains?
- What about the physical security of the facility?
The ‘Basel’ definition of operational risk is as follows; ‘Operational risk is defined as the risk of loss resulting from inadequate or failed internal processes, people and systems or from external events’.
Technology supply and install high security modular rooms designed specifically for use with IT facilities. These rooms include fire protection solutions at room and / or rack level.
Modularity and ECB-S (European Certification Board-Security Systems) certification characterise these high-availability IT security room solutions, suitable for areas where the highest levels of security are required within organisations which cannot tolerate any downtime whatsoever.
Rooms are constructed to EN1047-2 standard and are able to withstand bomb blast, fire, vandalism, corrosive gases and flooding. As these are modular built systems, they are
portable and scalable and can therefore expand or move as the business dictates.
