Electronic locking systems like EMKA’s ELM provide sophisticated levels of access control and environmental monitoring, as well as a check against complacency. There are increasing numbers of situations where locking, protecting, monitoring and alarming of data cabinets is an essential requirement of the installation. Not simply to restrict access to valuable data, but also to ensure continued efficient functioning of servers and drives which require closed doors to prevent overheating. EMKA systems allow the type of shared and segregated security common in telecomms, banks and financial institutions, which is likely to become more common as the benefits of internet trading are exploited in other industries.
