Vantage Data Centers transforms global security operations using Genetec Security Center
A leading global builder and operator of largescale data centers overhauls its video and access control systems .
Vantage Data Centers offers more than 1.8 million gross square feet and 1.5GW + of IT capacity across 32 data centers around the world .
And , in turn , world ’ s top hyperscalers , cloud providers and large enterprises partner with Vantage for their innovative approach to data center design and their commitment to reliability , efficiency and sustainability .
Facing many connection lags and maintenance issues , the Vantage team found that their existing video and access control systems were no longer measuring up to their standards .
Having separate video and access control systems further slowed workflows . Operators needed to log into the different systems , navigate between them and piece the video and access control information together .
Their security systems were proprietary , hindering the team ’ s ability to incorporate additional technologies to improve their operations .
Knowing that those technologies could no longer meet their mission-critical needs , the Vantage team was ready for a major physical security upgrade – seeking a state-of-the-art and progressive solution .
Aligning with the innovative spirit of the company , Vantage identified an open and flexible solution that gave them the ability to manage different technologies from one security platform . The company also required the highest levels of reliability and redundancy along with advanced features that could empower efficiency .
Considering all these must-haves , Genetec stood out from the start , said Tamim Rastkar , Global Director of Security Solutions and Standards , Vantage Data Centers .
