Great video to share with anyone new to interconnection and data centers
Hi All - New to the community and looking forward to connecting and learning! If you or any new hires on your team (or your mom!) are new to interconnection, ecosystems and data centers, this short “Where is the Physical Internet?” video from investment company Cowen is an excellent intro from the consumer perspective. It's a 9-minute walk-through of Equinix’s NY5 facility that includes insight into the physical infrastructure responsible for securing, cooling/powering, and connecting a modern data center. During the tour, you’ll also learn about the ecosystems at the NY5 data center that attract companies to interconnect there. The video is meant for anyone interested in learning more about where and how data is stored and exchanged. Hope you like it as much as I do!

User created port labels
The ability to create user generated port labels would be amazing. This way I can more easily determine which one goes to which datacenter on our side. You can leave the current label in the port properties so it can be referred to when putting a ticket in, but the current naming convention is difficult to correlate which port is for which of our circuits going to which datacenter.
