[ Why we do it ]

Density compounds. We invest in it deliberately.

BareFABRIC delivers value in proportion to the networks already present. DFIP is the program that builds that density on a deliberate, audited basis.

Every operator deployed at THG1 makes the facility more attractive to the next ASN, and operationally serious networks recognize that compounding effect. We fund the initial period because density is what makes a facility a viable market.

This is not a promotional offer. It is a structural investment in our own facility, governed by an eligibility review that protects the value of every member network.

[ Two tiers ]

Two tiers are available, scaled to the network.

Standard for ASNs landing on the metro. Premium for Tier-1s and global eyeball networks.

Standard tier

Quarter cabinet, 1 kW power inclusion. Two free 10 G BareFABRIC Ports — one at THG1, one at any other fabric facility. peering from day one. 36 months covered.

Premium tier

Full rack, 5 kW power inclusion. For Tier-1 transit-frees, global content origins and major eyeball networks. Two free 10 G BareFABRIC Ports + peering. 36 months covered.

[ Eligibility ]

Reviewed by an engineer.

Eligibility is determined by review rather than by traffic threshold. We look for operationally serious networks; hobbyist deployments, home labs and stub ASes do not qualify.

Typical accepted profiles include Tier-2 NSPs, Tier-1 transit-frees, CDN edges, content origins, gaming infrastructure operators and engineering-led MSPs. A submission includes the ASN, route policy and operational summary. We respond within five business days.

[ Apply ]

Apply to DFIP.

A submission specifies the ASN, the tier applied for and a summary of the network. We review within five business days and respond with either a contract or a decline.
