Scale Matrix And Enteracloud To Deliver Colo And Private Cloud
January 17, 2012
Infrastructure and cloud computing solutions provider Enteracloud has teamed with Scale Matrix to deliver PCI (News – Alert) Compliant colocation and private cloud computing solutions.
San Diego Colocation and Datacenter provider Scale Matrix takes an infrastructure-based approach to provide best-in-class hosting solutions to clients at every stage of their IT Lifecycle development. Providing real-time, biometric reporting capabilities at the cabinet level, Scale Matrix helps businesses address some of the ambiguous portions of compliance with a definitive solution.
Enteracloud noted that the executive team and key investors recently toured the Scale Matrix datacenter for an in-depth demonstration of key security components. This demonstration was expected to facilitate customers who require PCI and related security compliance…
“What happens in a PCI compliance perspective is that management often times puts intense pressure on IT to sign off on compliancy, even if it is not the case or the situation is a gray area,” said senior Enteracloud engineer Jonathan Doscher. “Without a closed loop system that provides direct data reporting by a trusted third party, cabinet level access does not share the same level of non-repudiation that the facility does. This is very troubling when it comes to questions regarding employees or third party vendors with access.”
Doscher continued, “We compared this to another major colocation provider in San Diego that was still using two 10-year-old cameras to try and protect 38,640 square feet of datacenter space. This would never be accepted by our auditors, nor would we try and convince a customer to entrust their critical infrastructure and payment processing to this environment.”
