Higher Capacity: Scale beyond public peering limits
Private Traffic: Traffic doesn't traverse shared infrastructure
Custom SLA: Dedicated support and performance guarantees
Flexible Speeds: 1G, 10G, 40G, 100G options

Pricing:

VLAN Type	Setup Fee	Monthly Fee	Use Case
Same Location	$100	$50/mo	Both parties colocated in same facility
Cross-Location	$300	$150/mo	Parties in different DATAHUB-IX locations
