environment, such as through walls and heavy
fauna, and provide absolutely zero false alarms
in all conditions. Both the customer and the
integrator must undergo basic training on radar
technology to understand its advantages
and where it is suitable for efficient and effective
deployment. SSI

DATACENTER BOOSTS DEFENSES WITH RADAR
▶ New York-based Telehouse
America is a global leader
for data centers, international
Internet exchanges
and managed IT services.
The company utilizes 24/7
monitored video surveillance
and access control systems at
its sites to ensure all sensitive
data belonging to clients -
ranging from fast-growing
startup firms to multinational
corporations in the finance,
Cloud, IT and consumer
sectors - remains maximally
secured.
Over the years, the need
for physical security on sites
like those belonging to Telehouse
has grown, and with it,
a surge in relevant regulatory
requirements and standards,
to which the company must
comply. To continue to offer
its clients leading secure data
solutions, Telehouse made
the future-forward decision
to transition its Staten Island,
N.Y., site from a legacy security
system featuring fixed
cameras, to a best-in-class
layered security system that
leverages the latest, most
comprehensive and innovative
technologies.
Opened in 1989, the New
York Teleport datacenter
houses 162,000 square feet
of premium colocation space,
within a secure 100-acre
office park on Staten Island.
While just 17 miles from
Manhattan and less than 12
miles from Newark Airport,
the site is surrounded by
forested areas, where local
fauna roam free. As such, the
need to secure all the site's
multiple entryways against
unauthorized personnel using
360° monitoring is a critical
necessity.
Telehouse required perimeter
security measures
that were more reliable and
affordable than infrared solutions
or smart fiber fencing,
and that could provide live
alerts to security operators
for real-time response, in
addition to recording surveillance
data for forensic and/or
liability purposes.
Magos' radar perimeter
detection system was selected
to spot potential threats
across Telehouse's property
line, essentially creating a
virtual fence around the
building. Six radars with the
Magos Mass + AI server were
installed onsite, a solution
that combines cutting-edge
radar detection technology
with AI-infused software to
pinpoint and classify the type
and location of all detected
potential threats. The MASS
software automatically
positions, and slews to cue,
a p/t/z camera to provide a
visual of the threat and uses
AI to further determine the
threat type of the detected
target. For example, the AI

solution to keep it properly monitored.
between a human trespasser
and local wildlife and adjusts
its response when recognizing
a potential threat.
The Magos solution was
integrated with the New York
Teleport datacenter's existing
Genetec video management
system for quick and seamless
deployment and fast
uptime. Additionally, together
with its systems integrator
partner Schneider Electric,
Magos continues to provide
system updates, while ensuring
support, as required.
" Our perimeter security
is the crucial first line of
defense in our layered security
strategy, and the Magos
radar solution provides that
high level of reliability and
accuracy needed, " says Milad
Abdelmessih, vice president
at Telehouse America.
" Hardening our facilities with
intelligent and robust security
technology such as that from
Magos allows us to maintain
high levels of regulatory
compliance that is required
to protect our customer's
sensitive data and maintain
our operational uptime. "
The radar solution's broad
coverage enabled Telehouse
to achieve the 360° site monitoring
capabilities it requires,
regardless of environmental
or lighting (day or night) conditions.
This enables security
staff to know who arrives on
site and when, and to be able
to react to potential events
with a significantly faster
response time.
The original design for the
project included the purchase
of hundreds of cameras designed
to run video analytics,
along with the related infrastructure
for such a massive
camera deployment. The
installation of Magos radar
technology was said to provide
superior detection and analysis
in a more cost-effective
solution, significantly increasing
the ROI of the Telehouse
security investment.
