Announcing EPIC (Enhanced Performance Innovation Centers)

Announcing EPIC (Enhanced Performance Innovation Centers)

Equinix introduces EPIC (Enhanced Performance Innovation Centers), a growing global program of purpose-built liquid cooling environments operating inside active Equinix IBX® data centers. EPIC gives customers a hands-on way to evaluate liquid cooling technologies, validate high-density infrastructure designs, and gain confidence in small-scale deployments before scaling-up AI and HPC workloads in production.Note: EPIC environments are currently live in London, Paris, Frankfurt, Osaka, and Sydney, with additional locations planned in 2027. Capabilities, configurations, and participating partners may vary by location.Why it MattersAs AI adoption accelerates, organizations are deploying increasingly dense infrastructure that places new demands on cooling, power, and operations. While liquid cooling has emerged as a key enabler for AI-ready infrastructure, many enterprises still want a better way to understand how these environments work before making significant capital investments.EPIC was created to help bridge that gap. By providing production-relevant environments inside active Equinix data centers, customers can evaluate liquid cooling solutions, explore infrastructure requirements, gain practical insights, test real architectures and deploy smaller AI and high-density infrastructure projects before moving to larger-scale production. What Customers Can Do in EPICEPIC is designed to help customers move from exploration to deployment faster by enabling them to:Evaluate liquid cooling solutions in active Equinix IBX environments Explore AI, HPC, and other high-density infrastructure use cases Assess operational and deployment considerations Work alongside Equinix experts, OEMs, and technology partners Build confidence around technical, operational, and business stakeholders before committing to deployment decisionsWhere EPIC is AvailableEPIC environments are currently available in:London (LD5) Paris (PA10) Frankfurt (FR6) Osaka (OS3) Sydney (SY5)Additional locations are planned as the program continues to expand globally.Learn MoreInside EPIC Blog EPIC Press Release  EPIC Liquid Cooling in action

Announcing the Total Economic Impact™ of Equinix Networking Solutions

Equinix is pleased to announce the publication of a new commissioned Forrester Consulting Total Economic Impact™ (TEI) of Equinix Networking Solutions. The study examines the potential business value organizations can realize by leveraging Equinix Networking Solutions, including Equinix Fabric®, Fabric Cloud Router, and Network Edge.Based on interviews with customers using Equinix Networking Solutions, Forrester found that a composite organization achieved a 190% return on investment (ROI), $2.1 million net present value (NPV), and $3.1 million in risk-adjusted present value benefits over three years.Why it MattersAs cloud adoption accelerates and AI workloads become increasingly distributed across clouds, enterprise environments, partners, and sovereign regions, organizations face growing networking complexity. Traditional networking approaches built around dedicated circuits, physical infrastructure, and lengthy provisioning cycles often struggle to deliver the agility, scalability, and operational flexibility businesses need today.As organizations evaluate network modernization initiatives, demonstrating business value and return on investment remains a key consideration. The study highlights how Equinix Networking Solutions help organizations simplify connectivity across cloud providers, partners, AI platforms, and enterprise environments through a software-defined networking model. The study also notes that Equinix Networking solutions can provide a foundation for future AI, distributed infrastructure, and network modernization initiatives.Key FindingsThe study identified several quantified benefits for the composite organization over a three-year period.$1.5 million in savings through reduced dependence on traditional physical networking infrastructure by adopting software-defined connectivity $1.1 million in avoided excess capacity costs through dynamic bandwidth scaling that aligns network capacity with actual business demand $360,000 in infrastructure deployment savings through accelerated network provisioning and reduced administrative effort 77% reduction in network and cloud egress costs by leveraging private traffic exchange instead of public internet routingIn addition to the quantified results, customers cited improved agility, architectural flexibility, resiliency, lower latency, and simplified connectivity across cloud and partner ecosystems as key business benefits.About the StudyTo evaluate the impact of Equinix Networking Solutions, Forrester interviewed four networking and infrastructure leaders across financial services, aerospace, and related industries. The findings were combined into a composite organization representing a global enterprise with $5 billion in annual revenue and 10,000 employees operating across North America and Europe.Learn MoreDownload the Forrester Total Economic Impact™ of Equinix Networking Solutions study Read What a 190% ROI on Network Modernization Looks Like Read How Software-Defined Networking Cuts Provisioning Time from 32 Hours to 4

Announcing Equinix® Fabric One™

Announcing Equinix® Fabric One™

Equinix introduces Equinix® Fabric One™ an intent-based networking service designed to simplify any-to-any connectivity across distributed digital infrastructure. Fabric One introduces a new way for customers to describe the outcome they need, while Equinix composes the network required to deliver it.Note: Equinix Fabric One was introduced at Equinix Horizon alongside Equinix Inference Exchange, together delivering new capabilities that solidify Equinix’s role as the world’s trusted AI exchange. Fabric One is expected to enter preview in Q4 2026, with planned general availability in Q1 2027 Additional details regarding availability, deployment locations, and customer access will be shared in future updates.Why it MattersModern enterprises operate across clouds, AI providers, enterprise infrastructure, partners, and sovereign environments. As these environments become more distributed, connectivity can become increasingly complex to design, configure, and manage.Fabric One is designed to simplify that experience. Instead of starting with individual products or topology decisions, customers can declare the business outcome they need. Fabric One then determines what to connect, where to connect, and at what capacity, helping shift the customer experience from designing networks to describing business intent.What Changes with Fabric OneToday, customers can use Equinix services to build secure, resilient, any-to-any connectivity. Fabric One introduces a new operating model that helps simplify how those outcomes are delivered.Old way: Choose products à Design topology à Configure à Operate New way: Declare outcome à Equinix composes à Network deliveredThe differentiation is not simply the prompt. It is what happens after the prompt: the automatic composition of the network across the Equinix connectivity portfolio.Use Cases Fabric One is Designed to SupportSimplifying multicloud and AI connectivity across clouds, AI providers, enterprise locations, and partners Accelerating network deployments by reducing manual topology design and configuration Supporting private, resilient connectivity for distributed infrastructure and AI workloads Helping teams shift from assembling individual networking components to declaring the outcome they want to achieveLearn MoreEquinix Horizon Event Equinix Horizon Community IDC whitepaper
