Multi-homed at every location
Every ColossusCloud data center connects through at least two major network providers. Multi-homing means:
- No single failure point: If one provider has issues, traffic routes through the other
- Better performance: Traffic takes optimal paths based on destination
- Improved reliability: Network problems at one carrier don’t cause outages
Providers are selected based on peering relationships, network quality, and coverage for each region.
