EquinixCOLOCATION SERVICES: IBX / Physical Security
Equinix IBX infrastructure is the industry standard for premium colocation facilities. Customers are guaranteed superior environmental benefits at every Equinix IBX center.
Physical Security
The physical security of the Equinix IBX center is our highest operational priority. Each IBX center utilizes an array of security equipment, techniques and procedures to control, monitor and record access to the facility, including customer cage areas.
All areas of the center are monitored and recorded using CCTV, and all access points are controlled. Every IBX center is staffed with 24-hour security officers to augment physical security features, providing financial-grade protection of your mission-critical Internet operations.
Visitors are screened upon entry to verify identity, and in shared situations, escorted to appropriate locations. Access history is recorded for audit by customers, as needed.
