Hi,

IXP is making progress with other sites also. Remember the July announcement re: Controlcircle. They have started deploying now (see below):

ControlCircle offers 24/7 service in space it leases in third party data centers, so state-of the
art physical security is extremely important to ensure performance and continuity of their customers’ data and compliance with Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI-DSS).
In addition, ControlCircle uses biometric controls and close circuit TVs in place at all of their locations
and have installed electronic rack locking that is managed remotely from their UK headquarters. This
system however, no longer meets their requirements.

“The electronic locking system we deployed didn’t provide the full accountability that we need to meet our
customers’ strict security standards, so we went shopping for a new solution“, says Matt Holloway,
ControlCircle’s Global Data Center Director. “We considered solutions offered by dedicated rack
manufacturers and we also looked at TZ. Once we experienced the TZ system, we were sold on two key
points – cost and functionality.”

ControlCircle found that the cost of the TZ solution and its implementation was lower than other
solutions, but even more importantly, unlike other systems they looked at, TZ Centurion™ offered full
system accountability and reporting and was very energy efficient as the TZ locking systems do not need
constant power draw when in the locked state.

“The TZ Centurion™ system offers sophisticated accountability and what’s even better, is that if there is
a power failure, with the TZ System, the cabinet and rack doors are maintained in a locked state rather
than default to open like the other options we reviewed,” says Holloway. “TZ gives us the true cabinet
level physical security we want to ensure our customers.”

The first TZ Centurion™ deployment was recently installed in eight cabinets at a ControlCircle customer
data center in Amsterdam, Netherlands. The next installations are slated for the data centers of large
banking institutions at another site in Amsterdam and a site in London.

“We are very happy with the way the system is working at our first site”, Holloway continues. “As we roll
out to all our other locations, we are considering implementing the TZ Centurion™ Server software to
help us maintain and remotely manage physical security across more than 600 of our customer cabinets
from our central location in the UK.
