Today, large enterprises are building Colo-based performance hubs to reach private applications in hybrid, multicloud architectures because of the high-bandwidth and low-latency requirements. Typically, these hubs include interconnects to one or more cloud providers and connections to the on-premises data centers over a private or leased WAN. Performance hubs can route traffic between the public cloud and on-premises infrastructure at high speed, and are resilient because of the underlying interconnect infrastructure.

Prisma® Access Colo-Connect builds on the Colo-based performance hub concept, offering high-bandwidth private connections along with seamless Layer 2/3 connectivity to Prisma Access from existing performance hubs.

Colo-Connect handles inter-region traffic with a focus on high performance and scalable network solutions, ensuring seamless operation even if a compute location becomes unavailable. To address this need, Prisma Access has implemented an inter-region connectivity feature. This feature enables Colo-Connect instances across different regions to be interconnected and provides robust disaster recovery capabilities between regions.

This inter-region support provides higher bandwidth, enables seamless scalability across regions, and strengthens multicloud support.
