SoftLayer Location
From SoftLayer Development Network Wiki
Contents |
Overview
Every piece of hardware and network connection owned by SoftLayer is tracked physically by location and stored in the SoftLayer_Location datatype. SoftLayer locations exist in parent/child relationships, a convenient way to track equipment from it's city, datacenter, server room, rack, then slot. Network backbones are tied to datacenters only, not to a room, rack, or slot.
| Warning! Even though our API is object based, XML-RPC can only return data as array values. The SOAP implementation treats data as object properties. |
