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.
