The Colocation NOC solution is designed for organizations that manage multiple sites and host several colocation companies on each site. The solution allows the organization to control the data each colocation company can see per site. This way the organization does not expose all of the available data to all colocation companies on the site.
In addition, there is an API tool that enables users to query the active status of alarms within the Colocation NOC.
Use Case
TowerCo wants to provide better service to their clients and let them know if something is wrong with the sites but at the same time, TowerCo wishes not to expose all of the available site data. This is why the end clients do not have access to Galooli’s main software platforms. The Colocation NOC dashboard is only showing digital flags and alarms, and this way does not expose sensitive information. In addition, the end clients will see alarms only in the sites they are hosted in, meaning, if the end client is X and in one of the sites there is an active alarm but tenant X is not on that site, Tenant X will not see the site on the alarm status dashboard.
