The racks themselves may be locked…sometimes proxcard, sometimes dynamo combination.
They are inside of a locked cage. Usually a combination of two or more…prox, biometric, pin.
That itself may even be inside of a locked room with the same access controls.
To get there, you will need to get past the security guard at the lobby. Depending on who the customers are and what state your in, those guards may be armed.
There most certainly will be a man-trap which will involve speaking to the guards and prove yourself as being a customer. Vendors must be escorted unless the customer got them registered as if they are employed by the customer.
Outside the building, could be guardshacks, likely with motorized gates. Sometimes also barbed wire.
They are also sometimes practically invisible unless you know they are there. There was one I used to work in in NOLA that looked like an abandoned strip mall. There was one in central MA like that as well. A friend of mine owns a data center in Providence that looks like any other abandoned mill building.
Macy’s Boston/Downtown Crossing?? Damn near all the Internet in New England flows through the floors above.
Sounds like they spend a LOT of money on security. Maybe we can’t get through it, but we can test/ probe/penetrate/ attack/ hack/ etc. enough that they have to triple the security budget, and that comes straight out of their profits. They don’t like it when you make them spend their profits.
two angle grinders. one with an aluminum cutter and the other with a steel cutter. You can get into basically anything with that combo. cut off the hinges or around the rack locks and just take stuff you didn’t spray with metal dust.
Barely staffed, yeah.
But locked up pretty friggin tight.

Plot twist: you’re in the US, so your angle grinder takes 120v but all the outlets in the cage are 240v.
This is the plot of an Oceans movie.
