Datacenter Security
Solutions

A strong perimeter is the first layer of defense for any datacenter. OPTEX REDSCAN LiDAR sensors establish virtual boundaries that detect intrusions with high precision, even across large or complex sites. Detection zones can be fully customized to filter out environmental noise and identify only human movement. These virtual perimeters act as an early warning system, helping security teams respond before a threat reaches critical infrastructure. When triggered, sensors can initiate real-time actions like locking gates, activating cameras, or alerting personnel for immediate response.

Securing building entry points is critical once someone approaches the facility. OPTEX REDSCAN and REDWALL sensors monitor movement around access zones, providing detailed coverage of doors, loading areas, and blind spots. The Accurance OV-102 Anti-Tailgating System adds another layer of defense by detecting tailgating and cross-entry attempts, ensuring only authorized individuals are allowed through secure entrances. These solutions help maintain tight access control and prevent policy breaches in real time.

Inside the datacenter, movement through restricted areas must be closely controlled to prevent internal threats. OPTEX LiDAR sensors form virtual detection zones along ceilings, floors, and corridors to monitor unauthorized access and alert staff to unusual activity. These systems are ideal for securing administrative halls, operational control rooms, or corridors leading to high-security areas, offering reliable coverage even in low-light or low-traffic conditions.

Server rooms and asset zones are the core of datacenter operations and demand high-precision protection. OPTEX REDSCAN sensors can create virtual walls around individual server racks, triggering alerts at the first sign of tampering or intrusion. These sensors are sensitive enough to detect small object movement, such as the placement of USB drives, helping guard against sabotage or data theft while maintaining a clean, non-intrusive physical footprint.

Tailgating remains a major vulnerability in datacenters, especially in high-security access points such as mantraps or dual-door vestibules. The OPTEX Accurance OV-102 system uses advanced tracking and direction detection to identify when one person attempts to follow another through a secure entry. Its customizable settings can enforce single-entry rules, send alerts, or initiate lockdown protocols, helping eliminate unauthorized access without interrupting normal personnel flow.

Datacenters are often built with non-standard or multi-level layouts that require flexible and adaptive protection strategies. OPTEX detection technologies are modular and scalable, making them ideal for use across rooftops, subfloors, irregular corridors, and dense server environments. By overlapping detection zones and adjusting sensitivity to suit the space, these solutions ensure reliable coverage even in challenging or unconventional environments.
