In an era where data security is paramount, Datalec Precision Installations (DPI) is setting new standards in the data centre industry. Since launching its in-house Electronic Security services in November 2023, DPI has rapidly evolved to meet the complex security needs of modern data centres.
Led by industry veteran Glenn Stephenson, DPI’s Electronic Security division has quickly gained traction, securing partnerships with major players in the UK and EMEA. This success underscores the market’s growing demand for integrated security solutions that seamlessly blend with data centre design and construction.
“Data hall security is no longer an overlay, retrofit, or afterthought,” explains Stephenson. This philosophy drives DPI’s approach, integrating security considerations from the earliest stages of data centre planning through to completion and ongoing operations.
DPI’s strength lies in its carefully curated partnerships with industry leaders. By collaborating with companies like Avigilon Alta, Axis Communications, Cisco Meraki, Genetec, HID Global, Inner Range, and Milestone Systems, DPI offers a comprehensive suite of cutting-edge security solutions. These partnerships enable DPI to provide everything from cloud-based video surveillance and access control to advanced IoT and identity management systems.
The integrated approach championed by DPI offers several key advantages for data center developers, constructors, and operators:
- Enhanced Efficiency: By incorporating security planning from the outset, DPI minimizes costly retrofits and project delays.
- Seamless Integration: Security systems are designed to work in harmony with other data centre infrastructure, reducing compatibility issues.
- Future-Proofing: Partnerships with industry leaders ensure access to the latest technologies and scalable solutions.
- Comprehensive Coverage: From perimeter security to internal access control, DPI’s solutions cover all aspects of data centre security.
- Streamlined Management: The ‘One Call, One Team’ approach simplifies project management and accountability.
As data centres continue to evolve in complexity and scale, the need for sophisticated, integrated security solutions becomes ever more critical. DPI’s proactive stance on security integration positions them at the forefront of this industry shift.
For data centre professionals looking to enhance their security posture while optimizing project efficiency, DPI’s integrated approach offers a compelling solution. By bridging the gap between construction, IT infrastructure, and security, DPI is not just securing data centres – they’re revolutionizing how the industry approaches security as a whole.
As the digital landscape continues to evolve, DPI’s commitment to innovation and integration in data centre security will undoubtedly play a crucial role in shaping the future of secure, efficient data centre design and operation.
