The modular security panel manufacturer Securiclad reports a new partnership with a data centre and server room specialist INFINITI. North Tyneside-based Securiclad is now supplying INFINITI, a data centre consultancy, construction and maintenance service provider operating across the UK and Europe, with its panel systems.
Securiclad’s products are used to create secure rooms in such sites as data centres, water utilities infrastructure, hazardous waste storage and healthcare facilities, financial institutions and retail units. The panels, for internal and external applications, can be used to form a standalone ‘room’, kiosk or partition.
INFINITI, based in Witney, Oxfordshire, says that it chose to use Securiclad for the product’s ease of installation, flexibility and its high security level certification, which means that it can be used to protect areas containing servers and sensitive data.
Securiclad says that its products offer a security solution to Loss Prevention Standard (LPS) 1175 Security Rating (SR) 4, which means that it is designed and made to withstand determined attempts at forced entry with tools such as drills, jig saws, disc grinders and sledgehammers. It is also approved for Government use by the official Centre for the Protection of National Infrastructure (CPNI), which allows it to be used on Ministry of Defence and other Government sites.
Securiclad can be used in new buildings or retro-fitted to an existing site, and is pre-finished, negating the need for wet trade requirements. It is also entirely bespoke and can be designed to specification.
INFINITI, which has worked with clients including ARM LTD, GCHQ and BT, has already applied the modular panels to a data centre at a Ministry of Defence site.
Mike McColl, pictured, managing director of Securiclad, said: “INFINITI has an established track record in the construction of server rooms, data centres and other technical environments, and we’re delighted that the company has chosen to offer Securiclad to its clients in cases where physical security is of prime importance. We’re looking forward to working with the company and helping to safeguard hardware and sensitive data from sabotage, burglary or terrorist attack.
“Our high security modular composite panel systems offer a flexible, easy-to-install solution for companies such as INFINITI, and we work closely with contractors to ensure that they have the training and support they need to create secure environments with Securiclad.”
And Pete Sands, managing director of INFINITI, added: “The Ministry of Defence data centre needed to conform to the very latest CPNI standards. We chose Securiclad because it had the required LPS security rating and ballistic testing certification. Securiclad’s in-house design team also offered our own design and installation engineers the technical support to ensure standards where adhered to, all throughout the construction phase. Now we are certified installers for Securiclad we will be offering this solution to all our clients and future projects.”
