Room colo overlay

Picard EcoStruxureIT
‎2019-10-14 05:15 AM

The selected overlay defines what information is shown on top of the layout. You can switch to see the room layout in another overlay by selecting another overlay tab at the bottom of the room layout pane. In Window > Show Overlays, you can define which overlay tabs to enable.

The Colo overlay of the data center shows you information on space and rack count. The color highlights will give you insight as to whether a rack or a floor space is open, reserved, closed, internal, or a customer state you define. See Configuring colo states

Room Area: The area of the room

Sellable Space: The sum of your all states beside internal one. Your internal space is not sellable and therefore not a part of the calculation.

Space Efficiency: The ratio between your room area and your sellable space.

Configuring colo states

Go to Tools > Configure Customer States. Set the name and color for each state.

Four default states (Open, Closed, Internal, Reserved) can't be renamed or deleted.

When a new state is defined, it can be assigned to equipment in Customer properties.
