Data security?
- yjftsjthsd-h 8y agoIt's a data center; why would it have different security properties than any colo facility?
- lotyrin 8y agoBecause you're stepping down on the spectrum of "vault with a mantrap, several factors of authentication and 24/7 posted security" down toward "fence and a padlock"?
- patrickg_zill 8y agoHow many datacenters have you been in?
- karambahh 8y agoI do agree they are usually far from "Mission:Impossible" style security that OP seems to have in mind. To be fair to OP, average regional DCs have better security than cell towers.
- lotyrin 8y agoHow many examples of the extreme ends of a spectrum have you heard? Of course not everyone is Iron Mountain.
- microcolonel 8y agoIt's amazing how, despite all the investment Iron Mountain makes in securing facilities, arson is still something like 50% effective at destroying everything.
- Spooky23 8y agoIt’s a prefab shed with a broadcast tower and an 8-12ft fence and a commercial grade door. Not a meaningful challenge to access. There are exceptions — a few AT&T long lines facilities are towers now, but that is truly an exception.
- patrickg_zill 8y agoEncrypted at rest filesystem, and fiber-backed video recording of everyone who steps inside the fence.
