    Abstract: In some examples, a method includes obtaining, by a data center infrastructure monitoring (DCIM) agent executing on a computing device deployed by a data center provider within a first data center of a plurality of geographically-distributed data centers, an infrastructure asset data object comprising infrastructure asset data for a physical infrastructure asset of a second data center of the plurality of geographically-distributed data centers; translating, by the DCIM agent using an asset mapping table, the infrastructure asset data object to formatted infrastructure asset data, wherein the asset mapping table maps one or more properties of infrastructure asset data objects to management protocol objects or control protocol objects for one of a management protocol or control protocol; and sending, by the DCIM agent to customer equipment co-located within the first data center, the formatted infrastructure asset data in a communication that conforms to one of the management protocol or control protocol.

    Abstract: Techniques are described for distributed processing of Internet of Things (IoT) device data by edge systems co-located within a globally-distributed set of co-location facilities deployed and managed by a co-location facility provider. For example, a method includes selecting, by at least one of a plurality of edge computing systems co-located within respective co-location facilities each deployed and managed by a single co-location facility provider, a selected edge computing system of the plurality of edge computing systems to process data associated with events generated by an IoT device. The method also includes provisioning, at the selected edge computing system, an application programming interface (API) endpoint for communication with the IoT device, receiving, by the selected edge computing system at the endpoint, the data associated with the events generated by the IoT device, and processing, by the selected edge computing system, the data associated with the events generated by the IoT device.
