will be there for the live site, this was more about the data matching for
the facilities, fabrics and providers so don’t be too put off by same stock
images and lack of tech data in this build.

Are you going to expand it to cover Fog Computing?

(If you're wondering what that strange sound is, it's the sound of my eyes
rolling ...)

have around 174 data centres in Australia and 250+ providers.  We have also
built the “Top 10" ranking system in which Equinix and NEXTDC feature
strongly in the DC space and Vocus, PIPE, IX Australia, Megaport and
Superloop feature well.

September.  There is more data than you can see here but this is just for
data validation purposes between facilities and providers (in terms of DC
technical data is old/stale not to be referenced).  If you are a Service
Provider that provides services in these facilities and there is data that
is not accurate (add, deletions) then please email update at cloudscene.com
with any adds/moves.  In September account holders for providers will be
authorise to take control of the account and will also cross-validate the
information presented.

can be validated.  So if a provider does not want to be listed, then they
will not show up, nor be included in the rankings.

peeringdb.com is awesome but only for peering and has some gaps in data etc.

directory of cloud enablers/providers (i.e. Networks, Cloud providers,
DC’s,  fabrics etc.)’.  Kind of like the great work Kim Davies did in the
"Cynosure” www.cynosure.com.au days (now gone :().  The site is called
Cloudscene and can be found at http://www.cloudscene.com .

particular focus on Australia/Asia, however we ended up having to go global
due to providers and listings.  What we are seeking is the help of the
Australian Internet Community to make this more meaningful.

ownership of their account/information.  However, we also appreciate that
to get this up to speed it will initially probably be easier to just do
bulk uploads/entry.  Happy to take the information from people in whatever
the easiest way for people to provide (eg. spreadsheet).

> If the facility is not listed just email information about the facility
(and links to product brochures if you can).  If it is listed and you would
like to update the providers offering services within the facility then
simply send us a list of providers that offer services via with a PoP in
the facility.
>
> Network/Service Providers
> So for example if you have a presence in a facility (must be able to
offer services from your own infrastructure within the DC) just send us a
list of DC’s you have PoP’s in.  If you are able to provide as much
information that would be terrific (including products and contact details).
>
> At this stage we are listing results from queries based on
relevance/number of providers so facilities with more providers (more
relevant) feature higher.  Of course you can click on any column to change
the sort criteria.  There will be some rapid deployment of information
happening including fabrics (IX and elastic) which are in but not fully
wired and cloud providers (IaaS, PaaS etc.) over the next few weeks.  Also
additional criteria for providers is almost completed to help people
specify the types of services they provide.  But one step at a time :)

hoping to put together a useful resource for the industry and any
assistance to flesh this out further is greatly appreciated.  Feedback is
also welcome at feedback at cloudscene.com
