What type of security do your Colo5 data centers near Clearwater, FL have?
Network and physical security are two of the most important factors to consider when comparing Clearwater, FL data centers. Colo5's facilities are SSAE16 certified, which provides the dependability, security, availability and integrity that make our operations the best in the business.
Each individual entering the Jacksonville facility is provided with a photo identification badge and is given biometric access to only those areas that they require entry to. This includes employees, contractors, vendors, clients, and of course visitors.
Regarding network security, we realize the importance of your information and we take it very seriously, which is why we use industry standard equipment and procedures to ensure the network’s integrity. Firewalls filter and safeguard web traffic, automatically updated virus protection is installed on all servers and workstations, and each system maintains logs of all network and system activity for later use.
Reinforced concrete walls protect our main facility, which has been classified as a Category 5 bunker facility. The building was erected twenty-two feet above ground and a series of pumps prevents water damage. The exterior walls are made of reinforced concrete, honeycomb steel mesh covers the windows and roll-down doors made of steel are installed on every entry. Together, these protections render the building capable of withstanding a 200 mile per hour projectile.
