EVA Solution Why physical security is key. Public and private networks are routinely attacked tens of thousands of times every day. Intellectual property is stolen. Records are destroyed. Privacy is compromised. Our ever-growing, ever-faster cyber world makes protecting your network from intruders ever more difficult. Increased data storage capability makes breaches even more devastating — terabytes of information can be lost in the blink of an eye. That threat can be an inside job, perpetrated from within your very organization.
The EVA Solution is greater than the sum of its parts. The EVA Solution is unique because it integrates multiple physical security solutions under one centrally managed umbrella. AlertWerks™ Plus monitors environmental factors such as temperature, airflow, humidity, power, smoke, and intrusion, and provides IP video monitoring and 2-way audio communications.
When it comes to network security, the place to start is physical network security. Securing hardware is important because if a person has physical access to a device, there is almost always a way to take control of it or to get data out of it.
The EVA Solution is centered around AlertWerks Plus sensor hubs, which provide IP network connectivity for a wide range of AlertWerks Plus sensors. Some sensor hubs also offer switch ports, making them an integral part of your network expansion plans. You can also choose hubs with dry contacts, which enable you to customize the hub to your particular application.
It’s at the hardware level, the very bottom of the networking hierarchy, that your network is most vulnerable. Unauthorized physical access to computing equipment can be a conduit for quick and devastating data loss that no firewall can prevent.
Intelli-Pass™ Plus is an intelligent biometric access control solution that provides air-tight 2-, 3-, or 4-factor access control plus additional capabilities such as intrusion detection and a programmable lights-on feature.
The EVA Solution: one integrated system for physical security.
EVA Enterprise Software enables you to manage and monitor all your AlertWerks Plus Sensor Hubs and Intelli-Pass Plus Biometric Readers plus video and audio surveillance. The software puts you in control of data with a wide range of capabilities including data logging, parsing, report generation, client-to-client communications, and alarm profiling. Individual modules within the software can be adapted to work with third-party systems.
The EVA Solution is a cost-effective integrated monitoring and control solution specifically designed to address physical threats to your computing infrastructure—threats such as unauthorized access, overheating, and power surges. This innovative security system provides a means to integrate digital IP and analog systems and operates over any IP network to monitor your data centers, datacomm closets, and premises. Plus, its unique open-path architecture enables integration of EVA components with IP products from other vendors. With a single coherent platform that combines hardware and software, the EVA Solution provides security and peace of mind for your computing infrastructure.
The software enables multiple users to access and control the system and enables different security levels for each user — each granting a different level of access. For a more complete solution, our Advanced EVA Enterprise Software Series combines software with servers, redundant servers, and RAID-configurable storage.
Compatible with third-party components. Third-party devices that support IP can be integrated into the system, enabling you to customize security to your exact requirements. The system’s adherence to “open path” architecture, means that any component can be used individually or incorporated into another manufacturer’s system.

The first step to security is the lock. The best lock is biometric.
The danger of environmental threats. It has become almost automatic to protect your data center by backing up your servers, installing firewalls and virus protection, and keeping the firewall and virus protection up-to-date. But what about more tangible threats? Do you have hot spots in your racks? If the cooling system shuts down, how will you know when temperatures climb out of control? Are you alerted to humidity changes that threaten your equipment?
Door locks The first thing you should do to secure your network is to put equipment behind a securely locked door. Server rooms, data centers, and wiring closets should be securely locked as a matter of course. Equipment located in office areas should be kept in a locked cabinet. And, if practical, access to the entire building should be controlled.
Biometric access systems Electronic access systems, such as Intelli-Pass Plus, that use cards, tokens, or biometrics are the most popular door-lock systems for securing IT areas. An electronic access system tracks each user individually and creates a log showing who gained or requested access to the room. Additionally, these systems enable you to customize access, so that each person can enter different areas within your facility.
Planning for the unexpected is a critical task because there are more systems performing mission-critical functions than ever before. These systems are often deployed without the proper environmental infrastructure to support them. Equipment density tends to increase, creating more stress on ventilation and power.
What is an environmental monitoring system? An environmental monitoring system such as AlertWerks Plus enables you to actively monitor the conditions in your rack, server room, data center, or anywhere else you need to protect critical assets. Conditions monitored include extreme temperatures, humidity, power spikes and surges, water leaks, smoke, and chemical materials. With proper environmental monitoring, you’re alerted to any conditions that could have an adverse effect on your mission-critical equipment. Environmental monitoring products can also alert you to potential damage from human error, hacking, or prying fingers. Many systems can be combined with video monitoring so you can keep an eye on your equipment as well as monitor conditions.
The most secure kind of door lock, by far, is the biometric access system. Biometrics is a technology that measures physiological characteristics, such as fingerprints, irises, voices, faces, and hands for authentication purposes. Biometric authentication is becoming a popular way to ID people for security purposes because it has the advantage of being both more secure and more convenient than traditional card readers — no one forgets their finger at home.
Environmental monitoring detects: • Hot spots in racks • Cooling system failures in data centers • Water leaks • Changes in humidity • Smoke • Power surges • And more! When integration with Intelli-Pass Plus to provide an EVA Solution enterprise.

The goal of physical security. When protecting your network, your premises, and your personnel, the first layer of security is physical security. Where once this meant heavy locks and security guards, today’s physical security is more high tech and more secure. It also encompasses a much bigger umbrella of strategies and solutions. • Access control system (ACS) • Environmental monitoring system (EMS) • Intrusion detection system (IDS) • Video management system (VMS) • IP intercommunication system (ICS) Unrestricted physical access to a computer or a network is your number one security threat. If a hacker has physical access to your network, stealing information is easy.

Networked is best. Physical security works best across your network because it provides a central way to manage and control all the necessary components. Often there are worries about what happens if the network goes down. In this case, the EVA Solution continues to do its job and reconnects with the network when it comes back up. Even in the case of a power outage, integral battery backup or a separate UPS keeps your security up and running.

• A reader or scanning device. • Software to convert the scanned data into digital form and compare it to a database. • A database that stores data for comparisons. Biometric data is encrypted after it’s gathered. When a finger is scanned, the software identifies specific data points and converts them to a numerical value using a set algorithm. Then the software compares this value with a number stored in the database to approve or deny access. Because the database stores a numerical value rather than an actual fingerprint, a biometric system does not create privacy issues.
Unlike some systems, the Intelli-Pass Plus biometric reader and controller units are separate. Connection to the door strike is via the Door Controller Unit (DCU), which resides in the secured area, protected from hackers.

Enrolling users couldn’t be easier — just scan the user’s finger. Never worry about privacy, because the system doesn’t store fingerprint images and can’t be used to create an image of the original print. The Intelli-Pass Plus actually looks for “life” in the finger and rejects pictures or silicon imprints of a finger. It also has a duress feature, which allows people forced to enter a room against their will to activate an alarm.
Fully manageable. Intelli-Pass Plus keeps a full audit trail to track who’s coming and going and when. Plus, the time-banding feature enables you to control access by time. You can even group users and doors together to make management simple. To Control Panel or Network To Network
