Colocation Services vs On-Premises Infrastructure
Developers should consider colocation when they need high-performance, low-latency infrastructure with full hardware control, such as for gaming servers, financial trading systems, or legacy applications that cannot be virtualized meets developers should learn about on-premises infrastructure when working in environments with strict data sovereignty, security, or compliance requirements, such as government agencies, financial institutions, or healthcare organizations, where sensitive data must be stored locally. Here's our take.

- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
On-Premises Infrastructure
Developers should learn about on-premises infrastructure when working in environments with strict data sovereignty, security, or compliance requirements, such as government agencies, financial institutions, or healthcare organizations, where sensitive data must be stored locally
Pros
- +It is also relevant for legacy systems that cannot be easily migrated to the cloud, or for organizations seeking full control over hardware performance and customization without reliance on external providers
