To determine whether someone must physically be at a data center to access servers, we can consider the following points:
-
Physical Access: Typically, physical access to servers in a data center is required for tasks such as hardware maintenance, replacing components, or troubleshooting issues that cannot be resolved remotely.
-
Remote Access: However, many servers can be managed remotely through various tools and protocols (such as SSH, RDP, or through specialized management interfaces like iLO or iDRAC) that allow administrators to perform many tasks without being on-site.
Given these considerations, the answer would be No, as remote access methods can often eliminate the need for physical presence in many situations.
