AI Chaos or AI Clarity? The Case for Centers of Excellence
As AI adoption accelerates, many enterprises are facing the same pitfalls we saw in early cloud rollouts: disconnected teams, duplicate stacks, and unpredictable costs. This latest article from the Equinix team (Kaladhar Voruganti-Senior Business Technologist & Aaron Delp-Director, AI Technical Solutions) introduces a compelling case for AI Centers of Excellence (CoEs) — not as a buzzword, but as a strategic framework to ensure: Centralized governance over AI models, data access, and security Infrastructure optimization to avoid redundant clouds and egress fees Predictable costs and low-latency performance for AI inference Alignment across functional, technical, and business teams 📌 What stood out: Equinix uniquely supports this model by providing proximity to clouds, data hubs, and private AI clusters — all while respecting global data residency and privacy needs. >> Check out the full blog here Is your organization centralizing or decentralizing AI initiatives right now?

What is Data Sovereignty?
In today's digital landscape, millions of terabytes of data are generated daily, all of which must be stored somewhere. But did you know that this data is also subject to the laws of the country where it's stored? This concept is known as data sovereignty. In this video, let’s learn about data sovereignty, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in the EU and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) in the U.S, and how Equinix, with its extensive network of data centers across over 70 major metros, helps companies meet these regulatory requirements effortlessly.
