Their offering is categorized into three main pillars: Edge Compute, Cloud Connectivity, and their newer Network-as-a-Service (NaaS) platform.

1. Edge Computing & Infrastructure

Its massive fiber footprint to provide low-latency (under 5ms) compute resources.

Edge Private Cloud: A fully managed, pre-built private cloud environment powered by VMware Cloud Foundation and HPE/Dell hardware. It’s designed for businesses that need the security of a private cloud with the agility of the edge.

• Edge Bare Metal: Provides pay-as-you-go, dedicated server nodes at the edge. This is ideal for intensive workloads like real-time analytics or AI model inferencing that require raw performance without virtualization overhead.

• Edge Gateway & Fabric: Acts as a programmable entry point to their network, allowing for the deployment of virtualized network functions (like firewalls) closer to the data source.

2. Multi-Cloud Connectivity

Cloud Connect" services bypass the public internet to provide private, high-bandwidth paths to providers like AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud.

Multi-Cloud Gateway: A newer software-defined solution launched to simplify multi-cloud routing. It allows you to connect different cloud environments (e.g., AWS to Azure) directly over the Lumen backbone, avoiding "hairpinning" traffic back to a central data center.

Cloud on-ramps: With over 125+ direct on-ramps globally, they provide dedicated connections (up to 400G) specifically optimized for AI/ML data transport.

3. Digital & NaaS (Network-as-a-Service)

A major part of their 2026 vision is making the cloud experience "on-demand."

Consumption-Based Billing: Users can spin up Ethernet, IP VPN, or Internet services via a self-service portal or API and pay only for what they use.

Private Connectivity Fabric (PCF): Specifically designed for hyperscalers and large enterprises, this is a dedicated, high-capacity network layer meant to handle the massive data flow required by generative AI training and operations.
