Also known asCloud ProximityCloud-Adjacent Colocation

Cloud Adjacency is the practice of placing IT infrastructure in a data center that is physically and network-proximate to major cloud on-ramps, so private connections to public clouds have minimal latency. It underpins high-performance hybrid and multicloud architectures, letting latency-sensitive workloads interact with cloud services almost as if co-located while keeping data and equipment in colocation.
