When filling out this page, the only element that is mandatory is the 'Name' field. On the page we allow you to add details of:

• Details of the provider of the Data Centre.

• The contracted end date with this provider if applicable.

• Any additional notes on the data centre that you may want to be stored in our platform.

• Finally, you can also add scores to Data Centres, these scores will apply to applications that have over 50% of their servers in the relevant Data Centre.  See the Cloud Navigator Tuning page for more info.

Once you have filled out all the necessary details, you can save this via the 'Save' button featured in the bottom right of the pop-up.

You can add data centres with the server upload, please see the server import guide.
