Equinix Launches Distributed AI Infrastructure
Equinix, Inc. has announced its Distributed AI infrastructure. The initiative introduces a new AI-ready backbone, a global AI Solutions Lab, and Fabric Intelligence to support enterprises deploying advanced, distributed AI.
The Vision Behind Distributed AI
Artificial intelligence is upgrading from static models to agentic systems. Now, it is capable of reasoning, acting, and learning independently. Unlike traditional applications, AI requires distinct infrastructure for training, inferencing, and managing data sovereignty. Equinix has engineered Distributed AI from the ground up to address these challenges. It will offer enterprises the scale, speed, and security to run next-generation AI workloads.
