Arelion Expands AI Direct Suite with 400G Ethernet Virtual Private Line

May 14, 2026
Arelion has added a 400G Ethernet Virtual Private Line service to its AI Direct suite, offering high-capacity private connectivity for enterprises, hyperscalers, and cloud providers. The service supports dynamic routing, multi-service delivery, and secure data transport for AI workloads.

Arelion has added a 400G Ethernet Virtual Private Line (EVPL) service to its AI Direct suite, announced in a press release. The upgrade enables enterprises, hyperscalers, and wholesale operators to interconnect AI infrastructure through high-capacity private connectivity.

The 400G EVPL service uses dynamic prioritized routing across Arelion's global backbone to maintain resilience, automatically rerouting traffic during network events. It supports high-availability connections between data centers, cloud regions, and Arelion Points of Presence while improving efficiency through Multiple Services on One Port, allowing EVPL, Cloud Connect, and IP Transit to share a single port.

Arelion's network-protected Class of Service architecture secures the transport of proprietary datasets, model updates, and application traffic for enterprise AI initiatives. The service also supports jumbo frames with a maximum transmission unit of 9400, enabling more efficient large-scale data transfers for sectors such as finance, streaming, and gaming.

The company operates a global IP backbone connecting over 2,000 customers across nearly 130 countries, providing low-latency connectivity for AI and cloud applications.

Tensordyne Napier: What If One Rack Could Do the Work of Nine?

Tensordyne

This Tensordyne whitepaper presents Napier, an inference-focused AI processor and rack-scale system based on the company’s TDN Math logarithmic number system. It examines infrastructure requirements for large mixture-of-experts and agentic models, compares major inference architecture approaches, and details the TDN AIP processor, TDN72 pod, TDN Link fabric, and Napier Ultra configuration. The paper reports simulation-based performance, cost, and accuracy-validation results, including Tensordyne’s projected comparison of one Napier rack with a nine-rack Nvidia Rubin plus Groq deployment; the chip is reported as taped out and in fabrication.
