Common Questions About Data Center Security in Atlanta
We manage a large colocation campus in Gwinnett County and need consistent guard staffing across three shifts. How does Calvis ensure coverage reliability?
Calvis assigns primary and backup guards for every shift at large campuses, maintaining a coverage guarantee that eliminates unguarded windows. Our scheduling system sends shift confirmations and tracks guard check-ins, and our dispatch team monitors for any coverage gaps and resolves them proactively — before the shift starts, not after it's missed.
Atlanta is a major fintech hub and several of our colocation tenants are PCI-DSS compliant payment processors. What does that mean for guard documentation?
PCI-DSS physical security requirements include documented access logs, visitor management records, and personnel accountability. Calvis provides shift logs formatted to support your PCI compliance documentation, and guards are briefed on the logging standards — including timestamped entry/exit records for each person accessing the facility. We treat this documentation as a core deliverable of every shift.
Our facility hosts Delta Air Lines' IT infrastructure. Are Calvis guards prepared for the 24/7 operational environment of an airline's data systems?
Yes. Data center security for critical operational technology — like airline IT systems — requires guards who understand that there is no 'slow period.' We staff three-shift rotations with experienced guards, maintain emergency backup coverage for unexpected call-outs, and brief guards on the specific escalation protocols required when security events occur at a facility supporting 24/7 operations.
