Ireland Data Center Physical Security Market Size (2024 - 2029)

Ireland Data Center Physical Security Market Analysis

The Ireland Data Center Physical Security Market size is estimated at USD 15.39 million in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 29.12 million by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 13.60% during the forecast period (2024-2029).

Security measures can be categorized into four layers, i.e., perimeter security, facility controls, computer room controls, and cabinet controls. The first layer of data center security discourages, detects, and delays any unauthorized entry of personnel at the perimeter. In case of any infringement in the perimeter monitoring, the second layer of defense denies access. It is an access control system utilizing card swipes or biometrics.

The third layer of physical security further restricts access through various verification methods, including monitoring all restricted areas, deploying entry restrictions such as turnstiles, providing biometric access control devices to verify finger and thumbprints, irises, or vascular patterns, providing VCA, and using radio frequency identification. The first three layers ensure the entry of only authorized people. Further security to restrict admission includes cabinet locking mechanisms. This layer addresses the fear of an 'insider threat,' such as a malicious employee.
