Peering Essentiel and Peering Plus share absolutely nothing.

Peering Essentiel costs around 40% less than Peering Plus. The legitimate question: why? It’s not inferior, it’s different. And that difference is precisely what creates value.

When a cheaper product is announced, the natural reflex is to look for what’s missing: What was removed? What has been downgraded?

That’s a fair question.

With Peering Essentiel, nothing has been removed compared to Peering Plus.

The two platforms were designed differently for different needs, on different architectures.

Peering Essentiel is a second French IXP built from scratch, with its own foundations.

Peering Essentiel and Peering Plus share absolutely nothing.

  • Not the hardware.
  • Not the software.
  • Not the network architecture.
  • Not the points of presence.

This is what we call impermeability: an incident on Peering Plus does not affect Peering Essentiel, and the reverse is also true.

For a customer connected to both platforms, this represents a level of resilience that no one else in France offers today.

Concretely, a connection port in Paris, hosted at Telehouse 2, with France-IX quality of service.

Peering Essentiel is designed to be simple and accessible.

And if you’d like to learn more about this new offering, understand how it fits into your existing architecture, or evaluate the Peering Plus + Peering Essentiel combination for your network? Our sales team is here to discuss it.
