Thank you for the suggestions. In this case the vault door can only be accessed after checking in with security in the lobby durring normal business hours. This requires all guests to check in before entering the vault door. After hours their is another enterance to the data center which requires multiple doors be accessed with CTV.

This sounds like a job for Ethan Hunt, and the IMF. Should he choose to accept any way.

I imagined that was probably the case. And in reality, it's likely more than sufficient on its own.

It is a nice looking facility by the way.

And you're probably aware of this, but one of the major benefits, though marginal of a man trap is it's ability to weigh the occupant on entry and exit to determine if unauthorized items are being taken into or out of the white space.

Then again, I'm not a security consultant, I am part of an architecture firm that happens to design data centers.

The biometric is nice security, but I believe a man trap (secure entry portal) would be better, since the images shown of the "vault" door imply that tailgating is possible. Granted they don't come cheap, the last man trap I used was $55,000 a cylindrical door, but, it's security is unparalleled.

There is a cheaper alternative which is to create a vestibule with card read access on the first door, an interlock, and biometric with CCTV for the second door.

Just an MCF designer's point of view.
