Client Area Overview

The client area in EasyDCIM is a dedicated interface designed for your customers. It provides access to assigned services, device control panels and usage reports. The interface is clean, intuitive, and focused on empowering clients to manage their services without administrator intervention.

Services

The Services section in the cient area displays a complete list of infrastructure services assigned to the client account. It is the central hub for managing and monitoring all active and historical services such as servers, colocation units, and related resources. The list view includes service details like name, type, activation status, and creation date, with direct access to each service panel.

Subsections:

  • Server Services – Dedicated server instances assigned to the client. Each entry links to a service panel with details such as IP addresses, system status, usage statistics, and available actions (e.g., reboot, power off).
  • Colocation Services – Colocation service instances assigned to the client. The service detail view includes rack assignments, power usage and physical asset information.
