How a Colocation Cage Improves Data Center Security and Control

A colocation cage in Cyfuture Cloud's data centers enhances security through physical barriers like wire mesh fencing, access controls, and surveillance, while providing superior control via dedicated space for customized management of servers and infrastructure.​

Enhanced Security and Control Benefits

Colocation cages at Cyfuture Cloud offer a private, enclosed area within shared data centers, using durable wire mesh partitions that allow airflow, lighting, and fire suppression while blocking unauthorized access. These cages include robust locking mechanisms, biometric or keycard entry systems, and 24/7 CCTV monitoring, ensuring only approved personnel reach sensitive equipment, which reduces risks of theft, tampering, or sabotage. Cyfuture Cloud's Tier III-certified facilities integrate multi-layer security protocols, such as mantraps and guards, making cages ideal for compliance with standards like SOC2, PCI DSS, or ISO.​

For control, cages give exclusive oversight of power, cooling, cabling, and scaling without interference from other tenants. Businesses manage their racks directly, monitor via Cyfuture Cloud's intelligent systems for uptime and performance, and scale seamlessly—adding space or redundancy as needs grow. This setup supports hybrid colocation, blending on-premise hardware with cloud flexibility for mission-critical operations.​
