While layer 2 networks (point-to-point networks) have their use and are generally fine for data transfers between a few nodes, they’re not built to scale and can become a nightmare for IT teams to manage as your business operation grows. Layer 3 networking enables an easily scalable, full mesh network that reduces operating costs while simplifying IT infrastructure and improving resource management. Plus, layer 3 networks are inherently more efficient at data transmission due to automatic routing.
We’ve traditionally offered a flat-rate pricing model that lets you commit to one bandwidth level for traffic - both to and from your bare metal instance(s). This model gives you unlimited data transfers and you’re only billed monthly for your level of bandwidth commit. While this model works for most customers, we wanted to also give you the flexibility to pay only for what you use. That’s why we developed our new data transfer pricing model. Instead of committing to one bandwidth level, you can now set the amount of total traffic you need from 5-100TB, in 1TB increments.
