ONE CONTROL PLANE + POLICY LAYER
Every way in, from people to AI agents to other clouds, is handled the same way.
Any source can reach any destination, under one set of rules.
Change a rule once → enforced everywhere
ONE CODEBASE, WITH NATIVE ZERO TRUST BINDINGS
Every service is written into the same code, so connecting them is already built in.

AN AI AGENT,
BUILT HERE
• uses AI models
• keeps memory
• reads your data
• only if allowed
ONE GLOBAL NETWORK, 335+ CITIES
Every service on every server
General-purpose servers, not built for one job. Each runs the whole codebase.

SEPARATE RULES IN EACH PRODUCT
Each way in lands in a different product, with its own rules.
A rule change is made product by product, then kept in sync.

SEPARATE CODE FOR EACH PRODUCT
Built or bought separately, then joined. Every hand-off adds a hop, and a gap.

PURPOSE-BUILT SERVERS
Not every city has every product
Some servers can only run one product. Some products run on rented public cloud.
