Securing Meridian Exchange's two owned data centres and two colocation sites as one eight-unit data center stack, built physical-up — physical and environmental, hardware and firmware, out-of-band management, network fabric, compute and storage, workload isolation, operations and change, and resilience and exit; the inter-site fiber that crossed a third-party facility now encrypted and colocation contracts with audit rights and exit terms; and eight gaps closed by design, from one badge reader and eleven BMCs on factory defaults to a flat fabric, storage visible to every host, tenants beside production, a forgotten temporary firewall rule and backups that shared production admin credentials.

Data Center & Hosting Security Architecture — The Data Center Stack

A senior-level architecture course that designs and defends the end-to-end security of owned and colocated data centres - physical through platform through operations and exit - for a latency-sensitive financial exchange operator whose workloads cannot move to public cloud. Work the data center stack - eight layers in physical-up order: Physical & Environmental, Hardware & Firmware, Out-of-Band Management, Network Fabric, Compute & Storage Platforms, Workload Isolation, Operations & Change, and Resilience & Exit - evidenced with real BMC/firmware-integrity checks, fabric and switch config, storage zoning, OOB access audits, and change and drift verification. Four hands-on activities in every lesson.

What you'll learn

  • Design tiered physical zones, dual-control access, and evidenced colocation controls for owned and colocated sites.
  • Root trust in hardware and firmware with supply-chain verification, secure/measured boot, and governed sanitization.
  • Isolate, jump-host, and monitor out-of-band management, and segment/encrypt the network fabric end to end.
  • Harden compute and storage platforms, enforce workload isolation, discipline operations, and build tested resilience with a real exit plan.
