Companies gain advantage deploying AI infrastructure at Equinix

After working with customers on a variety of AI deployments over the past several years, Equinix, Inc. (Nasdaq: EQIX), the world's digital infrastructure company®, is gaining traction as a preferred location for deploying private AI infrastructure. Both enterprises and service providers are finding that Platform Equinix's cloud adjacency, global reach, robust ecosystems and low-latency interconnection to the world's networks are critical components in private AI infrastructure.

As businesses increasingly leverage public AI models to harness knowledge and gain insights, they often need a non-public environment to retain control of confidential or sensitive information. Deploying private AI infrastructure at Equinix enables digital leaders to leverage public models while ensuring that an enterprise's most valuable business data does not enter the public domain. Private AI offers risk protection while delivering the benefits of trained AI models, enabling businesses to realize the full potential of AI.

Enterprises are directly utilizing Equinix for deploying their private AI infrastructure, and service providers are utilizing Equinix to provide private AI services for their customers. Both can benefit from the growing AI ecosystem at Equinix with a concentration of buyers and sellers operating in close proximity to major cloud on-ramps.

"As enterprises increasingly seek to harness AI for competitive advantage, they often need a non-public environment where they can retain full control over their sensitive and proprietary data," said Dave McCarthy, Research Vice President, Cloud and Edge Infrastructure Services, IDC. "These same needs propelled the widespread adoption of private cloud years ago and are now driving demand for private AI. With its extensive global reach, network density and cloud adjacency, Equinix is well positioned to support businesses with the digital infrastructure needed for the emerging and growing demand for private AI."
