Re: Collocation Access

I once was going to a meeting at a colo in Tysons Corner, which will
remain nameless (but you would know it).
Like most of them, it wasn't well marked, and we couldn't find it.
Three of us wound up walking through an open door on the loading dock
and onto the colo floor with no checks what-so-ever. We finally met
somebody, asked where so-and-so's office was, and (after a very odd
look) were told to go out again, walk around the building and go
through security.
But, I always thought that the purpose of most security was
psychological reassurance anyway...

The fellow I chatted with at AT&T said they are not allowed to
hand over their badge because it would compromise their security.
Sounds to me like NSTAC ought to be worried about a scheme to
accredit co-lo operator security staff, as well as the visiting
telco engineers.
So what's next....

I recall back in the days of Exodus in Jersey City I walked in to
go kick a Sun machine in one of the cages for a company I worked
for. I had previously worked at a company that also had a cage
there and had been to the Jersey City colo facility quite a few
times. Anyhow when I went in they pulled up the keys for my prior
company after giving them my ID. I stated "No, I no longer work
there." They gave me the correct key but a "Hello My Name Is" tag
with my former company. Funny...
