View Data Center Badge Events

The Access Events tab in the Cyxtera portal gives you timely updates on which spaces permanent badge holders have accessed, and when. The widget is updated every 15 minutes, and you can use it to generate PDF reports for security audits. You can analyze access by data center, space, or contact.

Where access details are marked as confidential, this is because the individual is from another Cyxtera customer's account. You will see this if another Cyxtera customer tries to access your space in error. Please ask your Account Team if you need any clarification.

Find information on granting access to your contacts here.
