ITS Data Center Access Policies and Procedures

The ITS Data Center provides specific environmental, enhanced security access, fire alarms/suppression, Uninterrupted Power Supplies (UPS), Campus Backbone connectivity, and a number of other elements required by the mission-critical resources that it houses. The procedures described in this paper have been developed to maintain a secure Data Center environment and must be followed by people working in the Data Center. It is important that any department/project contemplating the installation of their servers in the Data Center fully understand and agree to these procedures.
