The fabric
south of
everything.
LayerSwitch operates the interconnection fabric anchored at DFDC THG1, The Hague: 15 data centers across four metros, interconnected on our own dark fiber and Nokia optical network. Peering is included on every port; private VLANs and IP transit are provisioned in seconds.

01The RegionSHEET 1/4 · SCALE ≈ 1:250,000
Concentration is rational.
Until it is not.
Carriers build where the customers are and customers land where the carriers are, so everything accumulates in one metro. The market does not correct this on its own, so LayerSwitch changed the economics: a full core in The Hague, own dark fiber to every metro that matters, and 36 months free to peer south.

04The GroupELLADA HOLDINGS · FACILITIES, NETWORK, EXCHANGE
Facilities. Network. Exchange.
LSIX is part of Ellada Holdings, alongside Netrouting, DFDC and Prefixx. The data center, the backbone and the exchange are operated under one ownership, which is why a port is provisioned in minutes rather than coordinated across three suppliers.
DFDC
The Facilities
Carrier-neutral colocation in The Hague. 3.50 MW, distributed 2N+1, and the physical home of the LSIX core.
Netrouting
The Network
Bare metal, cloud and the AS6206 backbone across 28 locations on three continents, since 2007.
LSIX
The Exchange
The neutral meeting point where 103 networks, including our sister companies, exchange traffic on equal terms.
