Beyond the Cloud: Why Colocation is Essential for Production AI

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) are transforming how businesses operate – and the demand for powerful, secure, and high-performance infrastructure has never been greater. As organizations in finance, healthcare, logistics, and retail race to adopt AI-driven capabilities, colocation data centres have become the backbone of this evolution.

From recent industry insights, AI and ML are now primary drivers of growth in the global colocation market. These technologies demand ultra-low latency, powerful compute resources, and high-density deployments – needs that traditional on-premises setups often struggle to meet. As a result, many enterprises are turning to colocation providers to ensure scalability, flexibility, and operational efficiency.

Colocation

Why Colocation Beats the Cloud for Production AI:

  • Greater power and cooling capacity: Colocation facilities are designed to support high-density hardware that AI workloads require, unlike most traditional or cloud environments.
  • Superior connectivity and low latency: These facilities offer ultra-low-latency connections essential for real-time AI inference and high-speed data transfer.
  • Hardware ownership and control: Businesses can run their own servers and GPUs, gaining control over their AI infrastructure without relying on shared cloud resources.
  • Predictable costs: Colocation offers more stable and predictable pricing structures compared to the fluctuating costs of cloud services.
  • Enhanced physical and network security: Facilities like TraxComm provide robust, enterprise-grade security and compliance measures critical for handling sensitive AI data.
