Securing Critical Infrastructure in a Co-location Facility
This case study demonstrates how Force Field Wireless Studios helped a co-location data center enhance its physical security. By applying DefendAir Radio Shield paint, the facility was able to create a signal-free zone, attracting high-value clients and improving system stability.
01
Project Overview
A major co-location data center was looking to differentiate its services by offering an enhanced level of physical security. They were concerned about potential radio frequency interference (RFI) and the risk of wireless signal compromise within their server rooms. The goal was to provide an additional layer of protection for their clients' sensitive data and hardware without requiring significant infrastructure changes.
02
The Solution
Force Field Wireless Studios recommended using DefendAir Radio Shield paint on the walls of the data center's most critical server rooms. This simple application created an effective Faraday cage, not only blocking external signals but also containing any internal wireless signals. The paint's unique composition also helped to mitigate RFI, contributing to a more stable and reliable operating environment for the servers.
03
Results & Impact
The data center successfully implemented a new and valuable security feature for its clients. The DefendAir Radio Shield proved to be an efficient and cost-effective way to secure their facilities, leading to increased client trust and a stronger competitive position in the market. The solution provided a measurable improvement in both security and operational performance.
"Using Force Field Wireless paint was a smart business decision. It was an easy way to add a layer of security that our competitors can't match. Our clients appreciate the extra protection, and we've noticed a significant improvement in the performance of our sensitive hardware."
