Data Centers

Data centers are the backbone of the digital economy, supporting industries such as finance, cloud computing, and communications. Protecting these facilities from physical attacks is essential to prevent data breaches, service disruptions, financial losses, and reputational damage. 3B Protection offers a comprehensive, multi-layered approach to safeguard data centers from various physical threats, including ballistic, blast, fire, and forced-entry attacks. Here’s how 3B Protection keeps data centers secure:

1. Ballistic-Resistant Walls

Data centers are susceptible to ballistic attacks that can compromise critical
infrastructure. 3B Protection’s ballistic-resistant walls are designed to withstand high- caliber firearms, up to UL Level 10, ensuring the safety of essential components such as server racks, storage systems, and cooling units.

⦁ How it works: These walls are constructed from advanced materials that absorb and disperse bullet energy, preventing projectiles from penetrating critical
infrastructure.

⦁ Application: This defense is crucial in high-risk urban areas where data centers are located near public roads or are vulnerable to targeted attacks.

2. Blast-Resistant Windows and Doors

Explosive attacks pose a severe risk to the structural integrity of data centers. 3B Protection’s blast-resistant windows and doors provide a robust defense, ensuring critical systems remain operational even after a heavy blast explosion.

⦁ How it works: These components are engineered to absorb and contain the effects of shock waves from explosions, preventing glass from shattering or causing
structural damage to essential systems.

⦁ Application: Blast-resistant windows and doors are essential for protecting entry points and server rooms, maintaining functionality during an explosion.

3. Fire Protection Solutions

Fires are a significant risk in data centers due to the sensitive nature of the equipment. 3B Protection’s fire-resistant systems help prevent damage to critical infrastructure during fires caused by external attacks or internal malfunctions.

⦁ How it works: Fire-resistant barriers and systems contain and control fire hazards, ensuring that key areas such as power supplies and server rooms remain protected from heat and flames.

⦁ Application: Integrated fire protection is essential for ensuring continuous operation during fires, minimizing equipment damage and service disruptions.

4. Crash-Resistant Gates and Barriers

Vehicle-ramming attacks are increasingly common, especially in high-traffic areas. 3B Protection offers crash-resistant gates and barriers to prevent unauthorized vehicles from breaching the perimeter.

⦁ How it works: These gates are designed to withstand high-impact collisions from heavy vehicles, blocking vehicles from reaching sensitive areas.

⦁ Application: These solutions are deployed at key access points around the perimeter to stop or delay vehicle-borne threats.

5. Fortified Perimeter Walls

A fortified perimeter is essential to prevent unauthorized access. 3B Protection’s ballistic- and blast-resistant perimeter walls provide a comprehensive layer of defense against firearms, explosives, and forced-entry attempts.

⦁ How it works: Constructed from reinforced materials, these walls are designed to withstand bullets, blasts, and other impacts, preventing attackers from reaching the core systems of the facility.

⦁ Application: In addition to protecting against human threats, these walls shield the facility from accidental damage such as nearby construction incidents.

6. Internal Ballistic-Resistant Cabinets and Shelters

If external defenses are breached, 3B Protection ensures continued operation with ballistic-resistant cabinets and internal shelters that secure essential infrastructure such as power supplies, cooling systems, and backup generators from ballistic and blast impacts.

⦁ How it works: These cabinets and shelters are designed to isolate key systems, protecting them from external threats and ensuring they remain functional during a crisis.

⦁ Application: These solutions ensure that core systems remain operational even in the event of an internal breach, minimizing downtime and service interruptions.

7. Forced-Entry Resistant Doors and Anti-Climb Barriers

Forced-entry attacks are a common method used to breach data centers. 3B Protection’s forced-entry resistant doors and anti-climb barriers provide additional protection against intrusions.

⦁ How it works: These doors are built to withstand sustained physical attacks, while anti-climb barriers prevent attackers from scaling walls or fences.

⦁ Application: Protecting vulnerable entry points, these measures delay intruders and provide security personnel with time to respond to the threat.

8. Modular Shelters for Critical Infrastructure

3B Protection offers modular and precast shelters to safeguard critical infrastructure within data centers, such as power generation units and backup systems, from external attacks and internal accidents.

⦁ How it works: These shelters are designed to withstand both blast and ballistic impacts, offering flexible installation options that integrate easily into existing infrastructure.

⦁ Application: By securing essential infrastructure, these shelters ensure the continued operation of the data center, even if outer defenses are compromised.

9. Reduced Risk of Catastrophic Disruption

The financial and operational consequences of a physical attack on a data center can be catastrophic, leading to service outages, reputational damage, and significant financial losses. 3B Protection minimizes these risks by ensuring continuous operations and reducing potential downtime.

⦁ Continuous Operations: 3B’s advanced solutions keep critical infrastructure protected, allowing data centers to continue functioning during an attack.

⦁ Minimized Downtime: Redundant defense systems and internal ballistic protection help the facility maintain essential services while repairs or additional security measures are enacted.

Conclusion: 3B Protection’s Comprehensive Data Center Security Solutions

Data centers are foundational to the global economy, making their security a top priority. 3B Protection offers the most comprehensive, multi-layered solutions available, from ballistic-resistant walls (UL Level 10) and blast-resistant barriers to crash-resistant gates and fire protection systems. These security measures are specifically designed to protect data centers from the most sophisticated physical threats, including heavy blast explosions, fire, and ballistic attacks.

By integrating 3B Protection’s advanced security products into a data center’s infrastructure, organizations can ensure that their facilities remain secure, operational, and resilient—even in the face of extreme physical threats. 3B Protection provides the assurance that data centers need to maintain continuous operations in an increasingly volatile security landscape.
