What is the difference between traditional colocation and edge data centers?

Edge data centers are typically smaller, more distributed, designed for higher power density, and optimized for proximity to users rather than centralized aggregation. Traditional colocation focuses on large footprints in major metros for centralized workloads. The two models complement each other rather than competing, with enterprises increasingly using both depending on workload requirements.
