How can I know in what Data-center is located my instance?

I'm aware of the different locations of Servicenow Datacenters (Datacenter locations of Servicenow).

 

It's possible to know in what ServiceNow Datacenter is located my instance?

 

 

Thanks,

David

Hey,



I think you can tell which data center your instance is on by taking a looked at the "connected to cluster node:" setting in stats.do..



Instructions:


1. Add /stats.do to your instance URL..


2. once the page loads the second option down is "connected to cluster node:"


3. you should see something like.,.. app38035.sjc5.service-now.com:....


4. look at the sjc5 part of the string..



This example I gave above is of a demo instance so I think sjc is the Internationale abbreviation for San Jose.. My instance is in australia and the sjc5 part of the node says BNE1 - BNE is the Internationale abbreviation for Brisbane which is in fact where my instance is located..



Hope this helps you identify the instance location..



Please mark this answer as answered/correct if you find this helpful.



Thanks.

Hi

This may not help with ServiceNow spinning across Data Centers across the world.

For e.g.if i goto stats.do and look for an instance i get

app128157.ytz3.service-now.com:mycompanydemo4002

 

Now what is ytz3.

If these instances are via Hi.servicenow.com one of the way could be as follows.

  • Go to Native Hi \ Classic Hi Portal
  • Click on My IP Information - Link
  • Select the instance

here it seems the Data Center is in Brampton which is a city in Canada.

 

Hello,

ytz is IATA code for Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport. Brampton is a suburban city in the Greater Toronto Area. Thus checking through stats.do works perfectly.
