What it shows

  • Colocation facilities place routing equipment physical inches away from cloud on-ramps.
  • Single-digit millisecond latency enables real-time cross-cloud database replication.
  • Private Layer 2 cross-connects bypass internet peering and avoid public egress surcharges.

The takeaway

Achieve true multi-cloud speed by hosting your core routers in an interconnection colocation facility.
