Equinix, Inc. has unveiled its Distributed AI infrastructure, a new global framework designed to support the scale, speed, and complexity of next-generation AI, including emerging agentic AI systems. Announced at the company’s inaugural AI Summit, the launch combines an AI-ready backbone, a global AI Solutions Lab, and a new automation layer called Fabric Intelligence to accelerate enterprise AI adoption.
Built on Equinix’s network of more than 270 data centers in 77 markets, the Distributed AI platform is engineered for workloads that span training, inference, and data sovereignty. By unifying globally distributed environments with low-latency, high-performance interconnection, Equinix aims to help enterprises move from static AI models toward intelligent, autonomous systems that can reason, act, and learn in real time.
“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.”

Among the key announcements is Fabric Intelligence, a software layer enhancing Equinix Fabric® with real-time observability and automation for AI and multicloud workloads. Launching in early 2026, it integrates with orchestration tools to automate connectivity, dynamically adjust routing, and simplify operations.
Equinix also introduced a global AI Solutions Lab, spanning 20 sites across 10 countries, where enterprises can collaborate with partners, test AI solutions, and accelerate deployments. Additionally, the company is expanding its AI ecosystem—now over 2,000 partners strong—with direct access to cutting-edge platforms such as GroqCloud™, enabling private, enterprise-grade inference at scale.
By bringing AI closer to users and data, Equinix’s Distributed AI infrastructure is designed to enable faster fraud detection in financial services, predictive maintenance in manufacturing, and dynamic retail optimization, all while maintaining compliance and security across regions.
