Frequently asked questions about Equinix data centers in Americas

Equinix operates 108 data centers and interconnection facilities in 7 countries, covering metro markets across North America and South America. This regional reach enables customers to deploy infrastructure close to end users and directly connect with AI, cloud, network and enterprise partners anywhere in the world.  

Equinix is a global leader in data centers, colocation and interconnection services, operating highly connected facilities in the world’s largest metro hubs. By hosting infrastructure in these strategic locations, businesses gain low-latency access to cloud and AI providers, networks, SaaS platforms and enterprise partners, ensuring fast, reliable and secure digital experiences. 

A data center is any facility that houses IT infrastructure, but colocation refers to a specific service where a commercial operator provides space, power, cooling and connectivity for customers’ equipment. Companies choose colocation over building their own data centers to scale and expand global reach, reduce costs, access specialized expertise and connect to a broader ecosystem of partners and providers.

Yes, Equinix operates AI-ready data centers designed to support the high-power density and advanced cooling requirements of AI training and inference workloads. Customers use Equinix colocation sites in major metros for low-latency AI inference near end users, while xScale campuses provide large-scale capacity to power frontier model training. 

AI chips require significantly more power than traditional processors, generating heat that conventional air cooling cannot effectively dissipate. Liquid cooling systems absorb and remove heat more efficiently, making them essential for hosting next-generation AI hardware in modern data centers.
