Jacksons Fencing, the UK manufacturer and installer of security fencing and access control products, has been shortlisted as a finalist in the ‘Data Centre Physical Security & Fire Suppression Product of the Year’ category at this year’s DCS Awards.
The DCS awards were created to acknowledge product designers, manufacturers, suppliers and providers in the data centre sector.
The Jacksons product selected by the panel was Trident Jakoustic 3, an LPS1175 certified and for UK Government Use perimeter fence – designed, developed and made by Jacksons. It is said by the Kent firm to be the only timber based fencing system that combines certified security ratings with acoustic barrier properties and was designed for sensitive applications requiring privacy, a discreet appearance and maximum protection against unauthorised access by cutting through, burrowing under and scaling over. For data centres, it offers up to a 28dB reduction in noise entering or migrating from a site; an important factor for a business operating 24/7, 365 days a year where generators for UPS and HVAC play an integral part in site operations.
Peter Jackson, CEO of Jacksons Fencing said: ‘It is great to be recognised in the DCS awards, proof that even in the IoT obsessed world of data security, recognition that if you can’t protect the perimeter and manage access, you leave your facility, its staff and assets vulnerable to attack.’
