The dynamic company has expanded from their London Docklands facility to a new site in Hemel Hempstead, where they offer customers the highest standards for colocation and managed hosting.They have a diverse range of clients, from government departments and large IT consultancies to multi-billion dollar global enterprises. It is essential to offer them a high level of security at Gyron's facilities.Ben Miller, Gyron's Operations Director says: "Think of us as technical landlords, some customers are hosting up to a quarter of a million websites each. They really need to be sure of how advanced our technical facilities are."Robin Balen, Gyron's Managing Director says: "In addition to ensuring all the technical aspects of our new centre are first class, we needed to ensure that our security systems are top class as well."An important part of the security offered is the access control system.  Robin says: "Without access control we wouldn't have any customers."Net2 provides the flexibility needed and the audit trail that is essential for Gyron's business. Anyone visiting Gyron has to pass through stringent security. Barriers and rising bollards protect the car park, with the secure data centre guarded by a full height, bullet proof glass ‘man trap'. Users gain access using their token then, once inside, an iris recognition reader checks their credentials and performs an ultrasonic scan to ensure only one person is present, before granting access to the secure area. The iris reader is linked into the Net2 system, giving a full event log of people moving into and out of this area.

ISONAS moves to an open platform access control solution offering customers the power of choice in software
ISONAS moves to an open platform access control solution offering customers the power of choice in software

ISONAS Inc. will move to an open platform access control solution. ISONAS has been providing access control solutions that effortlessly integrate with many other systems including access control software. The company will now take these integrations to the next level by partnering with some of today’s leading access control software manufacturers launching the first integration in July 2016. De facto standard for access control hardware ISONAS continues to set the standard for access control and with the launch of its new hardware product line, brand new software platform and open platform philosophy; customers can be freed from proprietary, closed systems that are expensive, and provide limited solutions. “Customers want the benefits that only our Pure IP hardware can provide, a simple and cost effective solution. With our commitment to an open platform, customers will have choice in their software solutions and whether that’s our new Pure Access cloud based solution or one of our integration partners, they win. This puts ISONAS hardware in the position to become the de facto standard for access control hardware in the industry,” states Rob Mossman, CEO of ISONAS. The simple topology of a Pure IP solution - an ISONAS reader-controller and a CAT 5 for power and data - allow flexibility that panel or IP-enabled panel systems cannot. The open platform enables customers to fully customise a security solution with access control software integrations or even video management systems. Pure IP access control enables customers to do things they never thought possible. Whether used as a standalone product or with the Pure Access software, the new ISONAS Pure IP hardware platform, with Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) capability, delivers an entirely revamped aesthetic and forward functionality that increases flexibility for the customer in how and where their access control is installed. The ISONAS reader-controller will continue to be an all in one device and lead the industry in reader and controller technology.
