LAUSANNE, Switzerland - 26th of January 2016

FASTCOM Technology SA secures with its SMACS solutions the datacenter of a renowned multinational company based in the south-east of Germany, enabling the datacenter to meet the requirements imposed by security standards "TÜV-IT, Level 3".
 

The challenge of this project lies in the complex infrastructure of the access area. Transport of material between the two swinging doors should be maintained (see map). The use of mechanical security elements is impossible because the material flow would be blocked and it would not be possible to use the lock as an emergency exit any longer. In spite of these constraints, the objective is to control the tailgating in front of the elevator as the latter gives access to the corporate datacenter.
 

SMACS was able to meet customer specifications while integrating into the existing complex infrastructure. SMACS performs the vacuity check over the whole airlock (see “blue area”) and allows defining an integrated zone (see “orange area”) for the passage of material in the datacenter. It is possible to retain the existing high quality doors while implementing flows of people and flows of materials that are specific to the customer needs. No modification of the infrastructure is needed in the airlock as the SMACS is based on the use of intelligent sensors.
