Regional Data Collection
The ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Experience Cloud uses regional data collection (RDC) so that interactions between your visitors and ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ happen as close to your visitors as possible. Data collected locally at an edge site is securely forwarded to a core site for processing. Once processed, the data is available to ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Experience Cloud products and services.
The regional data collection workflow provides several benefits:
- Performance: With RDC, your visitors connect to the closest edge site. This optimization provides the fastest response time, resulting in more accurate tracking and faster loading times.
- Redundancy: If there is a disruption in communication between any edge site and core site, ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ’s infrastructure saves data locally, then forwards it to the core site when communications are restored. ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ can also route traffic to other edge sites if a specific location experiences interruptions.
RDC currently includes the following locations (subject to change):
First-party data collection
*China RDC requires the China Performance Optimization add-on package, and only applies to ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Analytics using AppMeasurement data collection. Other Experience Cloud services and Web SDK data collection are not supported. Contact your ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Account Team to learn more about the China Performance Optimization add-on package.
Third-party data collection
Third-party data collection includes cookie domains that don’t match your website domain. Examples include adobedc.net, omtrdc.net, and 2o7.net.
