Equinix announced it has expanded its partnership with Cisco and Nvidia to help enterprises deploy artificial-intelligence infrastructure across its global data-center footprint. The digital infrastructure company said Tuesday that customers will be able to deploy the Cisco Secure AI Factory with Nvidia across its facilities, providing standardized factory blueprints and automation to simplify deployments. Equinix also said it will partner with Presidio to deploy its Programmable AI Technology Hub, or PATH Lab, across its facilities, giving customers a testing environment to validate and refine AI infrastructure before enterprise-wide rollouts. "The success of enterprise AI starts with its physical foundation," said Gordon Mackintosh, senior vice president of global partner sales and ecosystems at Equinix. "Our collaboration with Cisco, Nvidia and Presidio delivers the infrastructure AI workloads demand, while giving customers a place to prove it out before they scale."
