Booking Parking, Meeting and Staging Rooms

Many NEXTDC facilities have work spaces and parking that customers can use for no charge. These working spaces are also known as resources within ONEDC.

Key criteria exist for booking these resources and ONEDC automatically approves all requests that comply with the criteria. Other requests are set to Pending Approval and are manually reviewed by NEXTDC prior to approval. Where a request is Pending Approval, it is still “held” to whilst the review occurs.
