SECURING A DATA CENTER

Security can no longer be treated as an afterthought when it comes to optimum network protection. Trial-and-error is not an option, as a single vulnerability could compromise the corporate lifeblood, the network. In such a high-stakes environment, only specialized expertise is acceptable -- Computex will bring their experience to assist you in designing and implementing the following systems to insure the integrity of your network:

Building access procedures:
  • Limited number of building entrances in compliance with local fire ordinance
  • Provide access to limited and managed security policies for all facility entrances
  • 24x7 onsite security guards
  • Visitor-logging procedure
  • Card-key, biometric, or similar entry locks
  • ID-badge system for all employees and visitors
  • Staff and visitors must wear badges at all times on premises
  • Individual cabinet locks; master in NOC; key list from customer
Equipment locations:
  • Video surveillance and motion sensors for entrances, interior doors, equipment cages, and critical equipment locations within the building
  • Locked cages with ceilings; locking cabinets with climate control for those wanting more privacy
  • Secure rooms available
  • Managed firewall services with 24x7 monitoring available
  • Backup lighting systems for entry ways and cable vaults
  • Individual cabinet locks; master in NOC; key list from customer
Supported monitoring:
  • 24x7 monitoring of dedicated servers and network equipment (note both frequency and method, such as PING, SNMP)
  • 24x7 monitoring of the health of the equipment with alarms and pager alerts for network failure and failovers
  • 24x7 monitoring firewall services available
  • Alternate NOC available
  • Second-tier support personnel located nearby
Network Security:
  • Written network access security policies readily accessible:
  • Password policies (such as not sharing, lengths, forced renewal, aging)
  • Acceptable use (ISP not allowed to run programs that are illicit or illegal; use of sniffers or cracking/hacking programs are not required)
  • Documented user responsibilities on security in company policies and re-enforced by education
  • Asset protection
Network security infrastructure in place:
  • Perimeter protection (firewalls, filtering router)
  • Intrusion detection
  • Authentication and authorization (passwords, RADIUS/TACACS, Secure IDs)
  • Backup and recovery systems to restore after a problem, such as load balancing, failover protection
  • Regular assessment of network infrastructure
  • Assessment of network expansions or addition
  • Tape or media storage offsite backup
  • Regularly scheduled security audits
  • Server antivirus software protection
