Equinix REIT : Get Better Visibility into Your Data Center Operations

Knowledge is power. At Equinix, we empower our customers to make data-driven decisions based on what is happening with their equipment inside our International Business Exchange™ (IBX®) data centers. IBX SmartView™ is a standalone, single-pane-of-glass, fully integrated Data Center Infrastructure Management (DCIM) software platform that provides near real-time environmental and operating information about our customers' colocation footprint at Equinix IBX locations. Customers can access it via an independent portal application, through the Equinix Customer Portal, or through IBX SmartView streaming APIs.

IBX SmartView provides data that is specific to a deployment at the local zone, cage and cabinet levels, with alerts that allow our customers to react to important events and configurable reports that enable proactive planning. IBX SmartView presents the data the same way across the globe, providing a single source of truth. A petabyte scale platform at full scale, IBX SmartView processes hundreds of millions of messages per day to provide our customers with on-demand visibility into data center operations with a target end to end processing goal of 60 seconds or less (99^th percentile).
