Security and Monitoring at Hetzner
Biometric/Magnetic Access Control
All visitors to the Data Centres must be accompanied by a Hetzner employee at all times.
Access to the Cape Town Data Centres is controlled by a Biometric fingerprint access system. Hetzner is able to manage the movements of staff by identifying and verifying them with this fingerprint technology.
To access the Johannesburg Data Centres, employees need to pass through the building's security as well as Biometric Access control before reaching the actual Data Centre's keypad access system. A unique combination is entered into the keypad which will then disengage the magnetic hold on the doors.
24/7 Monitoring of premises
All South African Data Centres are monitored by CCTV cameras. In addition each building premises is patrolled by 24/7 security guards. The Great Westerford building is patrolled by Fidelity security and the Gallo Manor building is patrolled by ADT security.
UPS and Generators
An Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) is installed in each Data Centre to ensure our servers are instantly protected from any power interruptions. A diesel power generator takes over in the case of an outage. All Hetzner's UPS's have two hours of battery backup.
Fire Protection
Hetzner Data Centres are fitted with fire detection and fire suppression systems. When there is confirmation of a fire, the Suppression system releases an Argon-Nitrogen mixture which decreases the oxygen level to below the point at which combustion can take place whilst still being safe to personnel.
