Equinix AI Factory with NVIDIA

Distributed enterprise AI: train at scale, infer at the edge & maintain data sovereignty

AI infrastructure that meets data where it lives

Equinix AI Factory accelerated by NVIDIA is a fully managed, turnkey solution that enables distributed AI architecture across 280+ data centers in 77 metros worldwide. Purpose-built for the demands of enterprise AI—from advanced power and liquid cooling to low-latency private connectivity to every major cloud—this solution positions your AI workloads where they deliver maximum value, without vendor lock-in or punishing egress fees.

AI workloads put a strain on legacy infrastructure

Organizations face multiple hurdles when scaling modern AI. Legacy systems fall short of the intense requirements of AI—from managing availability and performance to supporting large GPU deployments requiring 40–130+ kVA per rack. Data is distributed across clouds, edge locations and private environments. Real-time inference demands sub-millisecond latency that the public internet cannot guarantee. And as AI workloads spread globally, sovereignty and compliance complexity multiply.

Key challenges

Infrastructure mismatch

AI workloads demand 40–130+ kVA per rack with advanced liquid cooling. Legacy facilities weren’t designed for this density.

Data gravity

Enterprise data lives everywhere—multiple clouds, edge sites and private data centers across jurisdictions. Centralization is slow and expensive.

Sovereignty and compliance

Regulatory requirements multiply as AI workloads spread. You need precise geographic control over where processing occurs.

Distributed AI infrastructure, delivered

Equinix and NVIDIA have co-developed a turnkey solution featuring the NVIDIA Enterprise AI Factory validated design as the foundational blueprint for enterprise AI. Deployed across Equinix’s global data center footprint and managed by our AI infrastructure experts using IT service management best practices, this solution bridges private AI and public cloud environments through a unified management pane—powered by NVIDIA Mission Control for unprecedented operational agility.
