5 layers of security at Equinix IBX data centres

Equinix IBX data centres implement a comprehensive, multilevel physical security system to ensure the safety and integrity of their facilities. This includes a security lobby, physical check-in, mantrap entry, colocation area access and customer space security. Additionally, video monitoring and perimeter fencing with advanced detection devices provide 24/7 surveillance and protection.

Highlights:

  • Security lobby: Authorised access required before entry into the IBX.
  • Physical check-in: Identity verification with government-issued photo ID and visitor log tracking.
  • Mantrap entry: Controls ingress/egress with security personnel managing lockdown capabilities.
  • Video monitoring: 24/7 internal and external surveillance covering all critical areas.
