Look, AI isn’t coming. It’s already here — and it’s growing fast. Not linear growth. We’re talking exponential. The kind that breaks things. AI workloads are now so intense they’re overwhelming the networks, data centers, and power grids we built for a different era.The old infrastructure? It’s like trying to power a space launch with a car battery. Just doesn’t work. That’s why Equinix and NVIDIA are working together to rethink how we build and scale the physical backbone of AI. We’re not talking about incremental upgrades. This is about building AI factories — purpose-built, energy-efficient, high-performance, globally distributed systems that can actually keep up.Here's 3 principles to get us there:First: Everything starts with data. No data, no intelligence. And moving massive volumes of data — fast — requires serious interconnection. Equinix just happens to sit at the core of that. Clouds, enterprises, AI services — they all plug in here. That kind of neutral ground is critical wh
