How Can Electronic Handle Locks Protect Data Centers?

Today, with the booming of big data and cloud computing, data centers, as the important engine behind various devices, play an important role in the normal operation of the digital space. With the continuous expansion of big data and cloud computing, the demand for data center cabinets continues to rise and has become an important equipment support.
 
Electronic Handle Locks

As an important accessory for the physical security of data center cabinets, locks can not only prevent equipment and data in the cabinet from being stolen but also prevent accidents caused by accidental touches.

With the increasing requirements for the security of data centers, traditional mechanical handle locks can no longer meet the requirements for cabinets. How to upgrade data center cabinet protection? Recently, the electronic handle lock provided by Make to its partners provided us with the answer.

As an integrated solution provider for data center equipment, Company C is committed to helping customers build future-oriented data centers with professional and efficient solutions and provides a full range of 360° services and solutions from project initiation to post-maintenance.​
 
The problem that the customer was confronted with is the lock cannot be unlocked remotely and the user experience is poor.

Previously, Company C's cabinet locks were mechanical handle locks, which could not be connected to the customer's data platform, and the locking and unlocking records were automatically uploaded to the data platform promptly. The security of the data center was not guaranteed.​
 
At the same time, the mechanical handle lock does not have a function of remote unlocking and cannot achieve authorized unlocking. Especially in emergencies, it increases the difficulty of unlocking the cabinet and makes use and management very inconvenient.

In view of the problem, we recommended the MK436 electronic handle lock as a solution for data center cabinet locks.

It has multiple unlocking methods such as unlocking by RS485 protocol remote unlocking, mechanical keys and swiping cards to meet different unlocking needs. Among them, remote control unlocking is convenient and fast, without the need for on-site operation.
