Equinix AI infrastructure and data center expansion

Overview

Equinix is expanding its data center and AI infrastructure capabilities through both technological partnerships and strategic acquisitions.

In a technological expansion, Equinix announced the Equinix Inference Exchange, a distributed AI inference program developed with NVIDIA and Together AI. This platform aims to allow enterprises to deploy AI closer to their data and users, supporting over 200 open-source models. Alongside this, the company introduced Equinix Fabric One, a managed connectivity service developed with AWS and Google Cloud to automate connections across cloud and AI environments.

Simultaneously, Equinix completed a $4 billion acquisition of atNorth, a Nordic provider of high-density colocation and built-to-suit data centers. In this deal, Equinix holds a roughly 34% stake, while CPP Investments holds a controlling interest of approximately 51%. The acquisition provides Equinix with increased presence in the Nordic region, leveraging the area's renewable energy and advanced cooling technologies to serve hyperscale customers involved in AI and high-performance computing.
