“Our unique technology, which directly addresses industry mandates to upgrade user authentication while maintaining their privacy, has been adopted and integrated in a wide range of high security environments, with many data centers around the world already using Zwipe Access as their primary method to enter secure areas. Working with Chatsworth Products, we are confident that our offering will now be available to an even larger market,” says Einar Boije, Sr. Vice President of Access Control at Zwipe.
Additionally, Zwipe Access is fully compatible with the vast majority of existing employee ID systems and CPI’s Electronic Access Control (EAC) Solutions. Together, these solutions deliver a highly secure dual-factor access control solution at a greatly reduced cost over traditional systems that require integration of biometric readers into every cabinet handle.
“We see the need to push security and authentication down to the cabinet level, and believe two-factor, biometric-based authentication is the most secure system available. Our solution offers several options and with our new partnership with Zwipe, we are providing a better solution to the data center community that is easy to use and maintain, as well as reduces the overall cost and complexity of deploying high security to the cabinet level,” states Ashish Moondra, CPI Sr. Product Manager of Power, Electronics & Software.
Additional benefits of Zwipe Access:
- Recognizes unauthorized card use and eliminates threat of lost cards
- Compatible with readers for 125 KHz, HID ICLASS and MIFARE® proximity cards
- Addresses privacy concerns with on card biometric data storage
- Delivers cost savings, as there is no need to change existing infrastructure to support biometric reading
Zwipe Access is deployed over existing readers, eliminating the high cost of converting readers for biometric scans.
