Overview
VirtualPNI delivers the dedicated bandwidth and isolation of a physical private network interconnect (PNI) using a logical VLAN on the AIUSAIX fabric. Two participants agree on a logical PNI through the portal, and a dedicated VLAN with committed bandwidth is provisioned automatically — no cross-connect order, no patching, no facility fees.
Capabilities
Use cases
- High-volume CDN-to-ISP traffic offload
- Replacing existing physical PNIs to reduce cross-connect spend
- Rapid spin-up of bilateral peering with strict SLAs
- Multi-VLAN architectures with per-partner isolation

VirtualPNI questions, answered.
How does VirtualPNI differ from a physical PNI?+
Functionally identical from a routing perspective — dedicated bandwidth, isolated VLAN — but provisioned in minutes via the portal instead of weeks of cross-connect orders.
Can both ends be in different metros?+
Yes — VirtualPNI sessions can span the entire AIUSAIX fabric, not just a single hub.
What SLA do you offer?+
All AIUSAIX services carry a 99.99% availability SLA with credits for downtime. Latency and packet-loss targets are documented per-metro in your contract.
