Electronic risk control has been made possible with improvements in technology over the past two decades. Although intruder protection is still and important part of security, internal threats such as document theft, fraud, and industrial espionage have also become part of business life. As such electronic risk control systems allowing for fingerprint recognition, door access control, time & attendance systems, and building management solutions to be integrated with security equipment such as digital camera surveillance, offer numerous advantages including cost savings. Stolen items can be retrieved, camera footage can be used as evidence against a fraudster, fewer security guards are required to patrol the premises, 24 hour surveillance is possible and the solutions are scalable. If you want improved security contact us for electronic risk control solutions that will fit your company premises.

Electronic risk management is today just as an important part of business management than is budget control. Access control to specific areas within a building reduces the risk of fraud, theft by employees, and industrial espionage. At the same time access control to corporate premises helps to reduce the risk of armed robberies, large scale theft, and instances of fraud by outside parties. Financial losses are minimized through improved electronic risk management. Biometrics has come to play an important part in effective access control as have door control. In addition, IP based camera surveillance has become equally important. The main focus of electronic risk management should be the integration of various security and safety systems to reduce costs and improve control. This also means that time & attendance systems, payroll systems, parking management, door control, fire detection, alarms, and general access control should be integrated. IDtek provides various advanced electronic risk management solutions which allow for full integration of all of the above systems.

Security risk control should be one of the main considerations when it comes to building management because information, employees, clients, vehicles , finances, the buildings, and assets should be protected. Security risk control measures should be in place to address access to the premise and specific areas within the premise by authorized persons only, reduction of fire risks, fraud, industrial espionage, and robberies, in addition to lowering high maintenance costs. As such it is imperative that a company make use of a complete security risk control system rather than stand alone units which cannot be monitored from a central place or from a remote location. Such a security control system should for instance, integrate parking management, surveillance, biometric access control, door control, smoke detectors, fire alarms, and user-friendly building management systems. IDtek is able to provide integrated security risk control systems for medium to large companies.

IDtek believes in complete security solutions and as such also offers advanced cable distribution and data centre solutions including the product installation of Infra StruXure which is an advanced NCPI. InfraStruXure provides a modern solution for data network cabling through its modular and enclosed design. The smart cabling feature of InfraStruXure helps to prevent cable tampering, thus improving the security of company data centres. The smart cabling also helps to prevent accidental incorrect cabling. The InfraStruXure solution helps to keep the cable area neat. With its ability to handle large streams of data it allows for faster information download. The redundant architecture of the system helps to reduce the risk of single point failures.

More often than not, data centres need to be upgraded or moved. To ensure that the system will not be affected you will require additional power back-up units including backup generators. IDtek makes it possible to move away from the bulky and very expensive data centre architecture through a critical power solution known as InfraStruXure. The InfraStruXure solution entails racks which can be added onto ensuring more scalability as well as a backup power battery, usage of outside air for cooling the cable distribution of the data centre, and smart wire cabling to prevent mistakes and tampering. All the mentioned components are housed in a secure room which also eliminates the need for raised floors. The InfraStruXure architecture prevents single point failure and with many more amazing features it is the network critical power solution of today. View our Critical Power section for more information on this amazing solution.

IDTek offers clients advanced critical power solutions through the supply and installation of InfraStruXure technology. The advantages of InfraStruXure are numerous as can be seen from the example of the Boston Medical Centre HealthNet Plan. When they had to move their server from one floor to another in their building, they realized that they were now vulnerable in terms of critical power protection. Their first option was to go with an UPS and a backup generator. Unfortunately they would need to wait for a full year before they would have the full critical power protection required. They then heard about InfraStruXure which was installed within only hours. The human factor was also immediately addressed through smart cable wiring ensuring that accidental wrong wiring would not take place. Moving your data centre need not be a tremendously complicated process. Get in contact with us for more information about the InfraStruXure critical power protection that can be installed within hours.

Take for example the scenario below where critical power supply would have saved the day. Due to a power failure, a large Internet Service Provider and Bulk Hosting Company lose three of its servers. Since the company offers shared hosting numerous website owners suddenly find that their websites are down. They lose valuable leads, income, and ranking in the time it takes to move their information to other servers and get them up and running again. This is just one instance where critical power supply would have prevented loss of servers and downtime of websites. Ultimately the website owners have reason to be upset and change their host company. It could be the downfall of a company. Health centres where machinery cannot even be down for a second will also benefit from critical power supply that is expandable and easy to adapt. Contact IDTek for a critical power solution to ensure ongoing operations at your company.
