KentixONE is an integrated platform for physical security and monitoring built from the ground up around the specific needs of data centers.
Compliance within a complex regulatory landscape and the implementation of joined-up security and access management are growing challenges in data center management.
KentixONE in unifying solutions
Uniquely, the KentixONE solution combines eight different security-related functions within one system:
- Access control
- Intrusion detection
- Video surveillance
- External fault report
- Early fire detection
- Environment monitoring
- Power monitoring
- Network monitoring
Instead of relying on separate security solutions to achieve these tasks, KentixONE brings a holistic approach which was tailor-made for the white space in data centers: all relevant information is gathered in a single dashboard, where it is evaluated and can be processed automatically. This comprehensive approach ensures data storage buildings, and the IT infrastructures they house, receive wide-ranging protection against the latest physical threats to their data, protecting business reputation and ensuring stringent compliance demands are met. The goal is not just to prevent unauthorized access, but to maintain a clear audit trail which satisfies requirements under ISO 27001, NIS2 and more.
To maximize convenience, the KentixONE platform has a modular design and can be easily integrated into different environments – from small businesses to large, widely spread locations. Easy integration of security with HR and visitor management systems helps ensure permissions stay current as people join or leave projects. Software can be operated locally, via a web browser, or via cloud-based access. Because it is IoT-based, the system is fast and responsive. Remote and real-time oversight is always available. A KentixONE system is scalable on demand, maximizing security management flexibility.
Data centre application
KentixONE strengthens data center security not by increasing management complexity, but by forging a direct link between physical infrastructure and IT operations. The platform keeps sensitive operational data under local control while enabling granular access management, full audit trails, and real-time alerts. At rack level, integrated cabinet access control, intelligent PDUs, and environment sensors allow operators to set temporary permissions, track interventions, and monitor energy usage by rack, turning static physical assets into intelligent nodes in the data center’s overall security architecture.
KentixONE’s integrated functionality and approach to risk management across multiple potential factors also helps a data center to achieve important security certifications EN 50600 and ISO 22237.
Granular power monitoring from Kentix rack PDUs gives operators insights into power consumption and load behaviour, supporting more efficient capacity planning and improved PUE management. In fact, according to feedback from some of our customers, KentixONE can help reduce operational costs compared with traditional siloed solutions.
KentixONE offers real-time overview for more than 40 potential physical risk factors, from unauthorized entry and perimeter breaches to overheating, humidity changes, water leaks, and power anomalies. Everything the security manager needs is accessible on dashboards or via the convenient mobile app.
Early fire detection goes beyond conventional smoke-based systems by correlating thermal imaging, gas detection, temperature trends, and air-quality data to identify fire risks much earlier. This is especially important in high-density computer environments and battery-powered infrastructure where traditional alarms often activate too late to be effective.
