Security
Interxion data centre buildings are typically designed with five layers of physical security: the perimeter fence, the security gate and entrance, mantraps into the data centre, access systems into the rooms and secure, locked cabinets. Extra levels can be introduced such as lockable cages or cubes (containment aisles). No one enters or leaves without proof of identity, and all visitors are checked against customer-defined access lists. All building areas are secured by an alarm system, and an external security firm patrols the area, both inside and outside.
- Trained security staff on site 24x7
- Multiple physical security layers, including 24x7 access control, CCTV and man traps
- ISO 27001-certified and BS 25999-certified information security management systems

Controlled Environment
For optimum performance, all equipment is maintained and continuously monitored in a climate-controlled environment. The average temperature inside the cold aisle is controlled between 18 and 25°C and a humidity level of 50% ± 10%. Multiple air conditioning units provide redundant capacity. Fire-retardant walls, early warning laser smoke detectors (underneath and above the flooring), direct lines to fire stations, and automatic gas-based fire suppression systems provide world-class protection against fire.
- Very Early Smoke Detection Apparatus (VESDA)
- INERGEN® gas fire suppression system
