There is more than 285 million square feet of space dedicated to housing the servers of data centers worldwide. That’s as much land as about 6,000 football fields. Security for servers covering that much space is an enormous task. As companies rely more on cloud computing, businesses and government organizations are monitoring data center security to highest degree.
Data centers must have round-the-clock security guards, often using high-tech gear such as biometric scanners and proximity badges. Guards patrol and monitor the feeds from cameras that cover the interior, exterior, and even rooftop areas of the facilities. To add another layer of security, data is shared over many servers and unreadable to the human eye. Have a look at the infographic to find out more interesting behind-the-scenes facts about data centers.
