Clarity on ECP APIs - What is an IBX? Cage?

ECP APIs request packets have attributes with names – IBX? Cage? What do they mean?

    • IBX means Equinix Datacenter
    • Cage means a custom build (as per customer’s requirement) and secured mesh enclosure to house multiple cabinets in it.
    • Cabinet means a physical enclosure to hold IT equipment. Sometimes it also referred to as ‘Rack’
