Prisma Access Colo-Connect leverages the cloud-native GCP interconnect
technology to provide high-bandwidth service connections to your private applications.
Colo-Connect coexists with the existing IPSec tunnel-based service connections, so if
you need to provide private app access to smaller data centers that don’t require
high-bandwidth throughput, you could also use service connections to those data centers.
Gain visibility into your Colo-Connect deployment by viewing metrics such as the number
of Colo-Connect links and status, throughput trends, and individual tunnel, connection,
and link details. By viewing data about your Colo-Connect service connections, you can
get an overall picture of the health and connectivity of your deployment.

Service Connections Overview
Service Connections Overview shows the number of service connections by
transport Type.
You can see an aggregation of connected transports by Type or
their availability Status.
- IPSec
- Colo-Connect
You can view tunnel transport type by status: Up, Down,
Degraded, or Unknown.

Colo-Connect details page.
Service Connections Overview: Bytes Transferred and Bandwidth Consumed
Bytes Transferred shows an aggregation of ingress and egress bytes consumed,
and the difference in consumption from the time range you selected previously.
Bandwidth Consumed shows the 95th percentile of bandwidth
consumed in the last 30 days.
