Methode Data Solutions Group, a unit of Methode Electronics, has launched an access authorisation offering "LockTalk Data Center Security Access Control System."

The new access authorisation offering comes with control features including: Methode-developed BioSig and door lock mapping technologies that integrate fingerprint biometric access authentication with electronically controlled locking and unlocking at the cabinet door level within the data centre floor, said the company.

The new Control System features a touchscreen-driven mapping and access system to enable user interaction with the data centre facilities.

In addition, the offering provides multi-spectral imaging that can capture biometric images from any person in any type of environmental conditions.

Through this feature, data centre administrators can choose electronically controlled lock systems to match the door types and styles in their facilities, whether they are access doors to data centre rooms or doors on individual server, storage, or networking cabinetry.

Further, the Methode’s BioSig software allows administrators to integrate the various physical aspects of their security setups and provides security profiles with logs that detail time opened, latch states, and lock states.
