Methode Data Solutions Group Expands Its Automated Intelligence Solutions with the Launch of LockTalkSM Biometric Security

The LockTalk^SM Data Center Security Access Control System features a touchscreen-driven mapping and access system to enable user interaction with the data center facilities. The LockTalk^SM system is unique in that it uses Lumidigm Inc.'s Mercury Biometric Sensors to provide multispectral imaging that can capture biometric images from any person in any type of environmental conditions, whereas other fingerprint sensors are sometimes vulnerable to moisture, ambient light, and topical contaminants. Data center administrators can choose from a variety of electronically controlled lock systems to match the door types and styles in their facilities, whether they are access doors to data center rooms or doors on individual server, storage, or networking cabinetry. Additionally, Methode's BioSig^SM 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.
