Data Centers.

Protecting uptime, infrastructure, and sensitive data environments with WinGuard, the open integration platform for security, building, and information technology.

The Challenge

Availability essential. Complexity growing.

Data centers are critical switching and storage hubs. A single failure can interrupt IT services, compromise data, and cause financial and reputational damage. At the same time, operators must secure people, buildings, and sensitive technical areas while maintaining precise environmental conditions, reliable fire protection, uninterrupted power, and resilient operations across increasingly complex system landscapes.

  • Integration of all technical systems

    One platform for security, building, environmental, and information systems.

  • High availability and redundancy

    Resilient architectures help maintain operations when components or network connections fail.

  • Controlled environmental conditions

    Temperature, humidity, air quality, and leakage alarms remain visible and actionable.

  • Centralized incident management

    Operators receive the context, workflows, and system controls needed to respond quickly.

The Platform

Everything at a glance.

WinGuard consolidates video surveillance, access control, separation barriers, perimeter and intrusion detection, fire and extinguishing systems, HVAC, air purification, leakage detection, power monitoring, and other information systems in one unified control environment. Dynamic workflows guide operators through incidents, while predefined cross-system actions coordinate the connected technologies. Standby and location server concepts support high availability, independent site operation, and scalable expansion as data center infrastructure evolves.

  • Vendor-neutral integrations
  • multi-site architecture
  • Flexible expansion 
System architecture for energy operators: server, hot-standby, surveillance, client, video wall and mobile workstations connected over LAN; integrated subsystems include fire alarm (FAS), intrusion (IDS), CCTV, access control (AC), radio, public address (PA), perimeter and IoT

Scenarios & Solutions

The situations WinGuard handles.

01 / 04

Securing data halls and server racks.

Access to data halls, server rooms, and technical areas must remain restricted to authorized people. WinGuard combines access control, separation barriers, CCTV, perimeter protection, and intrusion detection in one operational view.

If unauthorized access is attempted, the related cameras and location information are displayed automatically. Operators can assess the situation, follow predefined response procedures, and document every event and action in one system.

02 / 04

Keeping environmental conditions within limits.

Sensitive equipment depends on stable temperature and humidity, clean air, functioning HVAC, and early leakage detection. WinGuard brings these signals together in one interface and can route alerts directly to the responsible service personnel.

When defined thresholds are exceeded, predefined actions can be triggered to contain the impact and help teams restore normal conditions before service availability is affected.

03 / 04

Coordinating fire and critical incident response.

Fire, smoke, power issues, and simultaneous technical events demand rapid, coordinated decisions. WinGuard consolidates fire detection, extinguishing systems, building management, power information, and communications in one operational picture.

Dynamic workflows guide operators step by step, while connected systems initiate coordinated actions. Redundant servers and autonomous site operation help keep the platform available even during central server or network failures.

Companion use case

One enrollment. Every site. Consistent access.

Large data center estates often rely on multiple physical access control and visitor management systems. Employees, contractors, and visitors may need precisely defined access to individual sites, data halls, or server racks, making fragmented enrollment and manual updates difficult to control.

AIM standardizes credentialing across the existing access-control landscape. It centralizes enrollment, automates access changes for joiners, movers, and leavers, and lets security teams revoke clearances consistently in real time. This creates a current global view of who can access which areas while reducing duplicate work and supporting compliance.
