The California Department of Technology says it is exploring solutions for real-time access control and tracking of computer room cabinets in a data center.
"The State is interested in cabinet level physical security solutions that provide various data and reports, and include the ability to monitor and control cabinet access from remote locations," an RFI released Friday says.
The solutions could include electronic key management system, electronic cabinet locks or other ideas, the department said. The solution should feature a unique locking mechanism for each cabinet.
The solution will include all hardware, software, installation, training, maintenance and warranty. The system must have a self-service function, allowing individuals access to only the computer room cabinets they are authorized to access.
Questions about the RFI are due to the Department of Technology by Sept. 30. RFI responses are due Oct. 14. Key action dates are subject to change. For more information, see the state's procurement website, Cal eProcure.
The contact for the RFI is Justin Ericson, (916) 431-5088 and justin.ericson@state.ca.gov.
