High-Bandwidth Private App Access with Colo-Connect
Learn how you can create a high-bandwidth connection to access private apps in Prisma
Access using Colo-Connect.
Does your organization require high-bandwidth (more than 10 Gbps) access between its
network infrastructure and Prisma Access at multiple locations as part of your
hybrid multicloud strategy? Perhaps you’ve thought about aggregating multiple
service connections to achieve high bandwidth, but you’re concerned about
scalability. If so, Colo-Connect has you covered.
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.
Colo-Connect builds on the Colo-based performance hub concept, offering
high-bandwidth (10-20 Gbps) low-latency connections, seamless Layer 2/3 connectivity
to Prisma Access from existing performance hubs. The following figure shows Prisma
Access being onboarded in a GCP instance using service connections and cloud
interconnects. This setup limits exposure to the internet and allows the use of
private connections for private application connectivity.
Colo-Connect allows you to use Prisma Access to secure private apps using a cloud
interconnect that can provide high-bandwidth service connections using the following
capabilities:
High bandwidth (up to 20-Gbps) throughput per region for private
application access
