After working with customers on a variety of AI deployments over the past several years, Equinix, the world’s digital infrastructure company, is gaining traction as a preferred location for deploying private AI infrastructure.
Both enterprises and service providers are finding that Platform Equinix’s cloud adjacency, global reach, robust ecosystems and lowlatency interconnection to the world’s networks are critical components in private AI infrastructure.
As businesses increasingly leverage public AI models to harness knowledge and gain insights, they often
need a non-public environment to retain control of confidential or sensitive information. Deploying private AI infrastructure at Equinix enables digital leaders to leverage public models while ensuring that an enterprise’s most valuable business data does not enter the public domain. Private AI offers risk protection while delivering the benefits of trained AI models, enabling businesses to realize the full
potential of AI.
Enterprises are directly utilizing Equinix for deploying their private AI infrastructure, and service
providers are utilizing Equinix to provide private AI services for their customers. Both can benefit from
the growing AI ecosystem at Equinix with a concentration of buyers and sellers operating in close
proximity to major cloud on-ramps.
“As enterprises increasingly seek to harness AI for competitive advantage, they often need a non-public
environment where they can retain full control over their sensitive and proprietary data,” said Dave
McCarthy, Research Vice President, Cloud and Edge Infrastructure Services, IDC. “These same needs
propelled the widespread adoption of private cloud years ago and are now driving demand for private
AI. With its extensive global reach, network density and cloud adjacency, Equinix is well positioned to
support businesses with the digital infrastructure needed for the emerging and growing demand for
private AI.”
“With private AI, businesses don’t need to choose between the power of AI and data privacy,
performance or predictable cost,” said Jon Lin, EVP and General Manager, Data Center Services, Equinix.
“Companies are turning to Equinix as ‘the place where private AI happens,’ as they locate compute
resources in proximity to data and seamlessly leverage public cloud capabilities.”
