Frequently Asked Questions

What security clearances are required for data center photography?
Requirements vary by facility type and tenant agreements. Typically includes background checks, NDA execution, escort requirements, and equipment restrictions. We coordinate all clearance requirements and maintain pre-approved photographer credentials for major operators.
How do you protect sensitive equipment information in photos?
Our AI automatically identifies and redacts server serial numbers, network configurations, customer equipment, and proprietary hardware while preserving infrastructure layout and capacity information needed for real estate transactions.
Can you document operational data centers without disruption?
Yes. We specialize in hot facility photography with minimal operational impact. Our photographers are trained in data center operations and work during scheduled maintenance windows or low-activity periods to avoid customer disruption.
What infrastructure specifications can be automatically captured?
Power capacity (kW/MW), cooling capacity (tons), rack density (kW per rack), fiber count, generator runtime, UPS capacity, redundancy levels (N+1, 2N), and efficiency ratings (PUE) can be automatically documented and verified.
How does pricing work for large portfolio transactions?
Portfolio pricing scales based on facility count and complexity. Typical range: single facility $5K-15K, small portfolio (5-10 sites) $25K-50K, large portfolio (20+ sites) custom pricing with volume discounts and standardized documentation packages.
What compliance certifications can be documented?
SOC 1/2 Type II, PCI DSS, FISMA, NIST 800-53, ISO 27001, and health information privacy regulations compliance can be documented with facility photography. We provide audit-ready packages that meet regulatory requirements for due diligence.
How do you handle customer data protection in multi-tenant facilities?
Multi-tenant facilities require customer notification, selective documentation of common areas only, equipment anonymization, and tenant-specific NDAs. We never photograph customer equipment or data, focusing on facility infrastructure and capacity.
What's the typical timeline for data center documentation?
Single facility: 2-3 days for photography, 1-2 days for processing and compliance documentation. Large portfolios: 1-2 weeks per 10 facilities depending on geographic distribution and access coordination requirements.
