Server Room Physical Security

["Wehner, Paul (wehnerpl)" <WEHNERPL () UCMAIL UC EDU>]

UC's server room is 24/7 and requires swipe card for access in and out and
has video surveillance.
When sysadmins require that special Saturday 2AM conversation with God we
have a dome of silence that lowers from the ceiling.

At NKU, we have card swipe access to the NOC.  Our operations is 24/5 (M-F).
The card swipe changes at different times of the day or weekend.  More
people have access to the center during the day when a full operations staff
is also available, but at 5:00 the access drops to only essential personnel
and operators.  On the weekends when the center is not staffed, the doors
are locked.  The NOC has two doors but the secondary entrance has an alarm.
