Gain real-time access to environmental and operating information relevant to your IBX footprint as if those cages were all in-house. Available through the Equinix Customer Portal, IBX SmartView helps you maintain your IBX operations and deployments with alerts and notifications, while enhancing long-term planning with customizable reports.
Narration:
Equinix customers rely on optimal conditions at our IBXs to run their business-critical operations.
They have concerns about events that could impact the availability and resiliency of their critical systems, which could include events like equipment failure, utility power interruptions, significant changes in usage and/or power draw, extreme weather events, and many other events. Customers want transparency into data center operations so they can monitor current status, and analyze and mitigate the impact of any unexpected changes.
As customers grow their businesses across more Equinix IBXs, or develop hybrid models using other colo providers, the cloud or their own data center footprints, their concerns multiply in scope and complexity.
IBX SmartView data center infrastructure management provides peace of mind through full visibility to data center operating conditions.
IBX SmartView is the Equinix DCIM or data center infrastructure management software-as-a-service product offering.
It includes a dashboard and detailed pages that show operating conditions and environmental data for the customer’s footprint, gathering data directly from our IBXs.
In addition to the portal, customers have the flexibility to use data through near real-time and pragmatic REST APIs. IBX SmartView APIs enable integrating core IBX SmartView data, including environmental, power draw, mechanical and electrical data, into third-party monitoring systems.
Benefits of IBX SmartView include:
Unmatched visibility to the real time operating status of critical electrical and mechanical data center infrastructure
Availability of data from IBX SmartView or in customer’s applications via APIs
Actionable insights through real-time push notifications when critical events occur, such as when utility power goes out or when temperature spikes in the customer’s cage
Relevant big data and self-service reporting
Consistent, single pane of glass visibility to all of the customers’ IBXs globally
