Smart Security for Data Centers with DAS & DTS

Digital Systems Depend on Physical Protection

Data centers and communication infrastructure form the nervous system of the digital age.
While cloud services and fast processing are essential, there’s a fundamental reality often overlooked: the physical integrity of the underlying infrastructure.

Because no matter how virtual our data becomes, the cables, power lines, panels, and cooling systems it relies on remain on the ground—and vulnerable.

FOTAS DAS and DTS solutions developed by SAMM Teknoloji make infrastructure status visible, preserve uptime, and reduce operational risk in data environments.

When Seconds Equal Millions

In a data center, a technical failure doesn’t just stop services—it can ripple through banking, defense, commerce, and logistics systems.
Every second of disruption can translate into millions in financial losses.

That’s why modern data centers must not only operate continuously, but also monitor themselves, detect early anomalies, and alert operators before damage occurs.

DTS: Detecting Fire Before the Smoke

Distributed Temperature Sensing (DTS) constantly tracks thermal conditions in:

• Cooling systems
• UPS rooms
• Cable trays
• Power distribution panels

It identifies issues like overheating, short circuits, or electrical imbalances before they lead to actual damage.
But temperature tracking is not only about fire prevention; it also helps assess cooling system efficiency, identify load imbalances, and avoid energy waste caused by overcompensating HVAC systems.
By continuously analyzing thermal profiles, DTS contributes to both longer equipment life and more energy-efficient operations.

DAS: Detecting Physical Threats Before They Escalate

Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) captures vibration and movement near critical zones or site perimeters, identifying:

• Digging attempts
• Infrastructure strain
• Cable tray tampering
• Unauthorized access

The system classifies each event, providing both location and nature of the threat.

Adding a Physical Layer to Digital Security

Cybersecurity may protect your data—but DAS and DTS protect the physical systems carrying that data.
FOTAS works alongside SCADA, NMS, and BMS platforms to strengthen your early warning and response architecture.

Application Areas

• Hyperscale data centers and cloud-critical infrastructure
• ISP and telecom aggregation sites
• Co-location and edge computing environments
• Power, cooling, and backup system networks
• Telecom switch centers and POPs

These are zero-tolerance environments.

Here, DAS and DTS are not optional extras—they’re built-in layers of decision-making and prevention

A Data Center That Listens to Itself

• Identifies thermal risks before they cause harm
• Detects and classifies physical interventions by location
• Optimizes maintenance planning with real-time insights
• Monitors energy consumption and operational stress
• Integrates alerts into SCADA and NMS systems

Don’t Let Your Infrastructure Stay Silent

Data centers are designed to be quiet—but even when everything seems fine, the infrastructure might be telling you something.
FOTAS solutions help you hear that message before it’s too late.

They ensure your data center isn’t just functioning—but doing so securely, efficiently, and with full awareness of its environment.
