About Smart View

Equinix Smart View is a fully integrated DCIM software platform, with online tools that offer visibility into the real-time operations of your IBX.

Smart View gathers operational data from a variety of entities, such as building management systems (BMS) and power monitoring components. The gathered information (including power draw, environmental, mechanical, and electrical data) provides insight into the operating conditions relevant to your IBX colocation footprint.

You can view the information in the Smart View portal or retrieve it using the Smart View APIs.

Where available, Smart View is pre-integrated at the IBX — thereby reducing your time and cost of DCIM implementation and deployment to zero.

  • Trended AC circuit-specific power draw data
  • Near-real-time, trended temperature and humidity data
