Connect your colocation infrastructure to AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud with direct, low-latency cloud on-ramps.

Modern infrastructure often requires seamless connectivity between colocation facilities and public cloud providers. This guide explains cloud on-ramp services, direct connect options (AWS Direct Connect, Azure ExpressRoute, Google Cloud Interconnect), and how to architect hybrid and multicloud environments. We cover the performance benefits of direct connections versus internet-based connectivity, cost considerations including data transfer fees, and how to implement redundant cloud connectivity for high availability. Learn how to use colocation as a hub for multicloud architectures, enabling you to burst to cloud for peak capacity, maintain data residency in colocation for compliance, and optimize your cloud spending through strategic placement of workloads.
