Security

Security may be one of the most important steps of the planning process. If your equipment and information is not safe, why should you even bother having a server room? You need to protect your organization’s large investment and information by limiting physical access to your computer room and taking the appropriate cyber-security measures. Bring in both physical and cyber-security professionals to work with you to secure your facility from unauthorized entry and cyber attacks. Buy cabinets with locking doors. Minimize personnel access to the room. Use security monitoring at all times. Ensure that elements that are out of your control won’t damage your equipment: temperature changes, water leaks, electrical issues, etc.
