Nebius Scales Global AI Infrastructure | Equinix Case Study customer story
Meeting global demand for AI infrastructure
Nebius is one of the world's largest AI infrastructure businesses, building data centers, GPU clusters and AI cloud capacity around the world for AI-native companies, enterprises and any organization deploying AI workloads. Meeting that fast-growing global demand depends on being able to connect customers to its AI cloud quickly, reliably and close to where they need it, which is where a distributed, well-connected physical footprint becomes as important as the compute itself.
Equinix provided us with a highly dense, well connected environment, which we're able to launch within several months so we can route large amounts of data to our cloud infrastructure.

Faster time-to-market with a cloud on-ramp
Using Equinix as a cloud on-ramp gave Nebius a highly dense, well-connected environment it could launch within several months, enabling large volumes of customer data to route into its cloud infrastructure. Equinix cloud on-ramps give AI and cloud providers direct, private connections into major data center campuses, reducing the time and complexity of reaching customers and partners compared with building out new physical network capacity from scratch. That speed to market helped Nebius bring NVIDIA H200 GPUs to customers in Europe early, through its Paris cluster with Equinix.
Connecting customers directly to AI capacity
Meeting fast-growing demand for AI infrastructure from builders around the world requires more than compute capacity. It requires a way to connect customers into that infrastructure quickly and reliably, at a scale that supports one of the world's largest commercially available AI infrastructure businesses.
Nebius uses a distributed AI infrastructure model, leveraging Equinix as a cloud on-ramp so customers can connect directly to its AI cloud. That dense, well-connected environment let Nebius launch within several months, giving it the ability to route large amounts of customer data to its cloud infrastructure without the delays of building equivalent connectivity independently.
The future opportunities are massive and we're very excited to be developing our partnership with Equinix to make that happen.
Tom Blackwell Chief Communications Officer, Nebius
Building for the next wave of AI growth
With Equinix as its cloud on-ramp, Nebius can connect customers to its AI cloud quickly, reliably and close to where they need it. As demand for AI infrastructure keeps growing, Nebius continues to develop its partnership with Equinix to capture the opportunities ahead.
