TZ locks in global data centre deal with Microsoft backing
In a game-changing development, ASX-listed TZ Limited has clinched its first order for 120 smart cabinet locking kits for global data centres, with technology titan Microsoft sitting squarely behind the deal. The order, placed through Microsoft's procurement agent Wesco Anixter, marks the start of the commercial rollout of TZ's retrofit solution. The initial order is part of a broader 360-unit commitment worth $725,000 and will be distributed across high-growth regions including the United States, Europe, the Middle East, South Africa and Asia. TZ has reimagined the humble lock, fusing cutting-edge shape memory alloy (SMA) technology with intelligent microprocessors to create a next-generation electronic locking system. Dubbed the 'SMArt' system, the high-tech solution ditches the old-school lock and key in favour of a sleek, software-driven setup that delivers superior security, remotely controllable with a tap or a click. 'The growing pipeline of sales opportunities continues to validate TZ's cabinet locking solutions.' TZ Limited chief executive officer John Wilson TZ says the new order is a major win for the company, whose cabinet security tech is quickly becoming a go-to solution in a data-driven world fuelled by the booming demand for artificial intelligence, cloud computing and digital transformation. The smart locking kit incorporates a modular, retrofit-friendly design that can be easily integrated into existing access control systems via hardwiring or through TZ's API-driven software. The system provides real-time access tracking and compliance auditing using TZ's proprietary Centurion Enterprise software platform. TZ Limited chief executive officer John Wilson said: 'The growing pipeline of sales opportunities continues to validate TZ's cabinet locking solutions and our ability to meet the needs of the market.' The Microsoft deal follows good results from pilot installations in Dublin and Chicago, which the company says have positioned TZ to become a serious player in the global data centre arms race.
