THE FIBER FOUNDATION MODERN AI DEPENDS ON
AI performance fails when data movement fails. Build AI infrastructure on fiber engineered for real east–west traffic, extreme scale, and nonstop performance.

AI is rewriting the rules of the network
AI workloads have changed what “performance” means.
Training and inference environments generate relentless east–west traffic between GPUs, clusters, and storage. Latency spikes, congestion, or path failures don’t just slow applications — they waste GPU cycles, extend training windows, and introduce risk where there’s no margin for error.
Legacy networks were designed for predictable north–south flows. Retrofitting them for AI works — until it doesn’t.
Most AI performance issues aren’t compute problems. They’re transport problems that only appear at scale.
DQE provides the purpose-built fiber foundation modern data centers need to keep AI workloads moving — deterministically, reliably, and without compromise.

FAQ
REAL QUESTIONS FROM REAL TEAMS
AI environments generate heavy east-west traffic that can overwhelm single-path networks. Diverse physical routes reduce congestion and eliminate single points of failure.
Our backbone is engineered specifically for high-capacity optical traffic, without retrofitting or shared residential infrastructure.
Local engineers, immediate escalation from our NOC, and true physical path diversity create reliability few providers match.
Our local engineering and permitting teams operate with urgency and autonomy, enabling faster timelines than national providers.
If flexibility, capacity growth, and operational visibility matter, Dark Fiber often provides the control modern AI infrastructure requires.
