The AI conversation is changing. We’ve moved past the "massive model training" phase and into the era of production-scale inferencing. But as data becomes more distributed, how do you scale without hitting a wall of latency, cost, and security risks? In this latest Cube Conversation, DD Dasgupta (VP of Product Marketing at Equinix) joins Bob Laliberte to break down the roadmap for the modern AI architecture. Key Highlights: Equinix Distributed AI Hub: A neutral framework connecting neoclouds, hyperscalers, and thousands of partners. Three Tiers of Sovereignty: Granular control over data, network, and AI models. Distributed Security: Insights on the Palo Alto Networks partnership to enforce security at the edge. Speed to Market: Leveraging 280 data centers to deploy AI capacity in days, not months. Watch to learn how hyper-specialized infrastructure and edge-first logic are providing the roadmap for scalable, secure enterprise AI.  

As quantum computing moves from research labs into the enterprise, it introduces a critical threat to current public key encryption through "harvest now, decrypt later" attacks. In this episode of Interconnected, experts from Equinix and Accenture discuss how to navigate this transition by building a quantum-safe security roadmap and embracing crypto-agility. You’ll learn how to protect critical infrastructure—from power grids to cloud platforms—by modernizing your security posture today. Watch the full video to discover how to future-proof your digital infrastructure against the quantum reality.  

Interconnection is the invisible engine of the digital economy, enabling the exchange of information between systems, clouds, networks, partners, and users. At its core, interconnection means connecting two or more parties together so data can move between them. Yet the term is too often used only to describe private, direct links that bypass the public internet. While private connectivity is essential and the preferred option for business-critical traffic, this limited view doesn't reflect how enterprises operate in a highly distributed, cloud-first world.  Today’s digital infrastructure spans multiple public clouds, SaaS platforms, partner ecosystems, and edge locations. Users connect from anywhere. In this environment, no single connectivity model meets every need. Some workloads demand tightly controlled, predictable performance. Others require broad reach and flexible access. In practice, interconnection encompasses both private and public connectivity working together, with

For too long, the "edge connectivity gap" has slowed down digital transformation, but a new collaboration is finally breaking that barrier. By integrating Resolute NEXUS™ with Equinix Fabric®, enterprises can now automate the design, pricing, and ordering of global last-mile access directly through the Equinix portal. This move effectively unifies the cloud-to-edge experience, providing the high-performance, distributed infrastructure needed for next-generation AI workloads.  To see how this partnership is simplifying private access to thousands of network providers across 180 countries, read the full press release here.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has moved beyond the lab and is now the engine of digital transformation, driving everything from real-time customer experiences to supply chain automation. Yet, the true performance of an AI model—its speed, reliability, and cost-efficiency doesn't just depend on the GPUs or the data science; it depends fundamentally on the network. For Network Architects, AI workloads present a new and complex challenge: how do you design a network that can handle the massive, sustained bandwidth demands of model training while simultaneously meeting the ultra-low-latency, real-time requirements of model inference? The wrong architecture can lead to GPU clusters sitting idle, costs skyrocketing, and AI projects stalling. In this deep-dive, we tackle the seven most critical networking questions for building a high-performance, cost-optimized AI infrastructure: What are the networking differences between AI training and inferencing? How much network bandwidth do AI models

Today’s organizations juggle a mix of physical equipment and digital services, spanning on-premises, cloud, SaaS, and remote locations. But as IT and OT environments grow more intertwined, so do the challenges of managing them. Siloed teams, fragmented data, and reactive monitoring are holding businesses back from true operational efficiency. What if you could gain a single, unified view of all your technology assets—no matter where they reside? Imagine proactively preventing outages, streamlining operations, and boosting cost efficiency with insights from across your IT and OT environments. In one of our latest blogs, we explore: • Why the convergence of IT and OT is reshaping infrastructure management • The business benefits of a unified observability approach across OT and IT • How leading organizations are breaking down silos for better decision making 👉 Read the full blog now!

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
