What is AI Gravity?
FD-IX introduces AI GravityMost networks move traffic toward users. AI operates differently. It draws resources toward the compute environment. This effect is called AI gravity. Data, storage, and networks begin to cluster around large AI compute environments, just as planets pull objects into orbit. Once the compute lands somewhere, everything
AI Needs Infrastructure, Not Just Compute
AI workloads differ significantly from traditional application traffic. Rather than users clicking links and retrieving content, AI involves sustained east–west data movement between tightly coupled systems.
Hurricane Electric Upgrades to 100G on FD-IX Indianapolis

FD-IX and AI Interconnection
AI interconnection means the physical and digital links between the systems that run AI. It connects GPU clusters, storage, research networks, and cloud regions, enabling them to share data quickly and smoothly.
