[Prisma Access](https://www.paloaltonetworks.com/blog/tag/prisma-access/?ts=markdown)

Prisma Access continues to push the boundaries of secure connectivity with its latest innovation. The newly released [Prisma Access Colo-Connect 100G](https://www.paloaltonetworks.com/resources/whitepapers/prisma-access-colo-connect-100gbps?ts=markdown) delivers up to 100 Gbps of private application access per Prisma Access region---a significant increase from the previous 20Gbps limits. By removing the bandwidth ceilings that have long constrained even the largest enterprise environments that leverage colocation facilities for high-bandwidth private application access, this breakthrough unlocks a new class of secure, high-performance, low-latency private access. Prisma Access Colo-Connect 100G reshapes what's possible for secure private application connectivity and throughput at enterprise scale.

The launch of Prisma Access Colo-Connect 100G is more than a simple bandwidth upgrade; it delivers a new architectural innovation for private application access. By combining high throughput with uncompromised security, operational simplicity, and built-in resiliency, it enables enterprises to securely support their most performance-intensive workloads without added complexity or cost. The result is a modern access architecture designed not just for today's demands, but for the scale and reliability the future requires.

As AI, machine learning, big data analytics, and video rendering drive bandwidth demand to unprecedented levels, legacy connectivity is hitting its limits. Customers are required to deploy hundreds of connectors just to achieve high throughput, resulting in operational complexity and performance degradation. Moreover, as organizations scale, the complexity of managing hundreds of connectors makes it difficult to enforce uniform, robust security inspections, ultimately resulting in security compromises.

Prisma Access Colo-Connect 100G delivers the performance, security, operational simplicity, resilience, and cost efficiency that organizations require as they navigate the complexity of today's AI age.

# Enhanced Performance to Break the Bandwidth Bottleneck

The reality for many enterprises is that standard connectivity solutions, such as IPsec service connections, are no longer enough; whether moving massive datasets for AI training or running real-time video conferencing, performance complexities like latency inevitably arise.

Prisma Access Colo-Connect 100G solves performance and latency challenges by providing a dedicated, high-bandwidth private transport layer between Prisma Access and colocation facilities. Organizations don't just get more bandwidth; they get a secure, predictable, low-latency path that is essential for critical business processes. It allows them to maximize throughput up to 100 Gbps, effectively future-proofing the network for the data demands of tomorrow.

# Security That Moves at the Speed of Business

Historically, network speed and security depth have been in a tug-of-war. The goal today is to accelerate performance without compromising protection to help end the trade-off between security and productivity.

Prisma Access Colo-Connect 100G sets a new standard for high-performance private access in a Zero Trust world. Built to enforce [ZTNA principles at scale](https://www.paloaltonetworks.com/cyberpedia/what-is-zero-trust-network-access-ztna?ts=markdown), it delivers uncompromised security without sacrificing speed. Every byte of traffic is inspected at [Layer 7](https://www.paloaltonetworks.com/cyberpedia/what-is-layer-7?ts=markdown), with advanced protections like[Advanced Threat Prevention](https://www.paloaltonetworks.com/network-security/advanced-threat-prevention?ts=markdown) and [Enterprise DLP](https://www.paloaltonetworks.com/sase/enterprise-data-loss-prevention?ts=markdown) applied inline. By eliminating the long-standing tradeoff between performance and protection, Prisma Access Colo-Connect 100G delivers a future-ready foundation where massive scale and ironclad security operate as one.

# Operational Simplicity to Reduce Management Overhead

Traditionally, achieving 100 Gbps of throughput required configuring multiple connectors, creating unnecessary delays and operational complexity. Prisma Access Prisma Access Colo-Connect 100G addresses this challenge by enabling 100 Gbps of throughput in a Prisma Access region via a single service connection. Customers, therefore, save valuable configuration time while drastically lowering their ongoing management overhead.

# Resiliency and Cost Efficiency for Improved Business Outcomes

Beyond performance and security, this solution addresses two critical concerns for the modern C-suite: uptime and cost. Disaster recovery is no longer just about having a backup; it's about having a backup that performs. Prisma Access Colo-Connect supports various failover scenarios, such as when a connection goes down, ensuring business continuity is maintained with high performance even during a disruption. By utilizing direct private app access through dedicated interconnects, organizations can significantly reduce or even eliminate expensive internet egress charges associated with public cloud providers.

# Secure High Bandwidth Backbone for the AI Era

As organizations navigate complex multicloud migrations and skyrocketing bandwidth demands, Prisma Access Colo‑Connect 100G offers a path forward. It provides the high-speed, low-latency backbone essential for resource-intensive private applications and workloads, delivering a level of security and performance unmatched in the industry.
