Location Hierarchy

  1. Kloudspot has a tired and hierarchical system for organizing sites. It is important to understand how your organization’s sites are organized globally and map that organization into the hierarchy explained below. The location hierarchy in the Kloudspot system is used to logically organize sites based on geographical location, this is also used in data aggregation metrics. So, for example, if you want to view occupancy data for all sites in America, you can view it as a whole.
    • Top regions: are the highest level of the hierarchy, they would normally be the country or region you are in, for example, the United States, or North America. You can have as many top regions as you like, and each top region can have any number of child regions or sites under it.
    • Child regions: are under the top regions in the hierarchy, they generally denote a state or territory, for example, California. You can create as many child regions as you need. Child regions can have both child regions and sites underneath them.
    • Sites: are where things really start to get interesting. Sites are generally specific locations, like 1285 Oakmead Parkway, Sunnyvale California (the Kloudspot HQ!). A site will generally be a specific building or location, with one or many floors.
