Planning a visit to a Worldstream data centre
Respuesta rápida
Plan and manage physical visits to Worldstream's Greenhouse Datacenters (NL) from Portal, under Datacenter Services → Datacenter Visits. Use Plan visit for your own visit, or Invite partner/technician to bring someone else in. You'll need an access ID configured on your account before you can plan anything.
If your colocated hardware needs hands-on work, someone has to physically get into the data centre. The Datacenter Visits feature in Portal is where you plan that, whether it's you going in or a partner or technician you're sending on your behalf.
Before you start: access ID
Datacenter Visits appears under Datacenter Services → Datacenter Visits once it's enabled on your account, and covers visits to Worldstream's Greenhouse Datacenters (NL). Planning a visit requires an access ID configured on the account. If you don't have one set, contact Support to get it arranged before you try to plan a visit.
