Data Centers

Proof of physical presence where critical systems live.

Credentials prove possession.
Not presence.

Badges, PINs and phones confirm that a credential was presented. They cannot confirm that its authorized holder was physically there. In a facility where one person at the wrong rack can take down a customer’s service, that gap is the risk.

01

Data Hall & Secure Cage

Admit authorized personnel who are physically present, not whoever is holding the badge.

02

Remote Hands & Vendor Maintenance

Give tenants evidence that the authorized technician was on site when the work was done.

03

Critical Operations Authorization

Require an authorized human, physically present, before high-consequence actions run, whether an operator or an AI agent starts them.

Where METAiD Applies

Eight control points in a data center, the gap each one leaves open today, and the solutions that close it.

ScenarioThe gap todayMETAiD solutions
Main Entrance & MantrapBadges, PINs and mobile credentials can be shared, cloned or handed over. None of them proves the authorized holder is the one at the door.
Data HallRestricted server zones often rely on the same transferable credentials as the lobby, with no assurance that the authorized holder is the one physically entering.
Secure / Customer CageMulti-tenant facilities must keep each tenant’s permissions separate and show tenants that only their authorized people entered.
Remote HandsTenants need evidence that the authorized technician was on site when work was performed on their equipment.
Vendor MaintenanceContractors receive time-limited credentials, but most systems cannot show the credential was used by the person it was issued to.
NOC / Control RoomHigh-privilege actions need an accountable record that an authorized operator was physically present.
Power, UPS & CoolingLocal intervention can interrupt service instantly, yet a digital permission alone does not prove an authorized person is on site.
Automated & AI-Agent ActionsAutomated and agent-driven actions execute in seconds. High-consequence steps need independent evidence that an authorized human was physically present to approve them.

Built for how data centers already run.

Keeps your access control system

METAiD readers connect to existing access control panels over Wiegand or OSDP. No rip-and-replace of the systems your security team already operates.

No color camera inside customer cages

Depth sensing only, with no RGB sensor by design. Nothing captures a photographic image of people, tenant equipment or screens.

Presence records you can audit

Every verified entry and authorization is recorded in IAMS and available to your own systems through the Enterprise API.
