High density infrastructure

The AI era demands a new kind of infrastructure

AI-ready data centers with high-density GPU infrastructure, liquid cooling and the power capacity AI workloads demand—managed, so you can move from pilot to production without building it yourself.

WHY AI NEEDS A HIGH-PERFORMANCE DATA CENTER

AI demands more power and cooling

AI workloads require high-density power, advanced cooling and operational expertise that many legacy facilities can’t deliver. Equinix AI-ready data centers are built for it.

Density

Power and cool the most demanding AI workloads

Access high-density power delivery and advanced air and liquid cooling designed for next-generation GPUs and CPUs—without costly data center retrofits.

Speed

Deploy AI-ready capacity faster

Reduce design and construction time with prebuilt facilities, standardized designs and expert deployment support—and scale as business requirements evolve.

Connectivity

Connect to every cloud, model and AI provider

Use Equinix Fabric® for private, on-demand connectivity to clouds, neoclouds, model providers, data platforms and networks—reducing data transfer and egress costs without vendor lock-in.

OPERATIONS

Simplify AI infrastructure operations

Use design, deployment and on-site technical support to reduce the operational burden of running AI infrastructure.

HOW EQUINIX ENABLES AI-READY INFRASTRUCTURE

Built for the physical demands of AI

How it fits together: Run training, inference and enterprise AI workloads in Equinix AI-ready data centers that have high-density power and liquid cooling. Then use Equinix Fabric® to connect privately to cloud service providers, neoclouds and foundation model APIs.

Deploy on infrastructure built for AI

Get the high-density power and advanced air and liquid cooling that GPU-dense AI workloads demand, without building it yourself.

Connect privately to the AI ecosystem

Use Equinix Fabric® to reach clouds, model providers and AI services through private, high-performance interconnection.

Move from pilot to production without rebuilding

Deploy ready-to-run infrastructure that scales with you, so growing from a pilot to full production doesn’t mean starting over.

Put AI where it delivers the most value

AI performs best when compute sits close to your data, users and partners. Choose the right location for each workload and grow your footprint at your own pace.

Keep data close to compute

Place GPU infrastructure next to the datasets your models rely on, so you don’t move large volumes of data and you avoid the delays that come with it.

Serve inference near your users

Run inference in metros near your customers and devices to help lower response times for real-time AI applications.

Keep control of models and data

Keep proprietary models, training data and outputs in private environments you control, with physical security and access policies set by you.

Support data residency needs

Deploy AI in the locations your regulations call for, so sensitive data can stay in the right jurisdiction while you scale.
