At its inaugural AI Summit, Equinix, Inc., the world's digital infrastructure company, unveiled its Distributed AI infrastructure—a bold new approach to power the next wave of AI innovation, including agentic AI. Today's announcement includes a new AI-ready backbone to support distributed AI deployments, a global AI Solutions Lab to test new solutions, and Fabric Intelligence to better support next-generation workloads for enterprises.
As businesses look to deploy next-generation AI tools, such as AI agents, enterprises need to rethink their existing IT architecture. Equinix's Distributed AI has been engineered from the ground up to support the scale, speed and complexity of modern intelligent systems—including the evolution from static models to autonomous, agentic AI capable of reasoning, acting and learning independently. Unlike traditional applications, AI is inherently distributed, with distinct infrastructure requirements for training, inferencing and data sovereignty. Meeting these needs requires a new kind of infrastructure—globally distributed, deeply interconnected and built for performance at scale. With a fully programmable, AI-optimized network linking 270+ data centers across 77 markets, Equinix is uniquely positioned to unify these environments across geographies, enabling intelligent systems to operate reliably, securely and everywhere they need to be.
"This is the infrastructure AI has been waiting for," said Jon Lin, Chief Business Officer at Equinix. "As AI becomes more distributed and dynamic, the real challenge is connecting it all—securely, efficiently and at scale. That's where Equinix comes in. Our global platform provides the boundless connectivity enterprises need to move data and inference closer to users, unlock new capabilities and accelerate innovation wherever opportunity exists."
