Equinix

We’re excited for customers in Europe and Asia who can now find Colt’s last-mile services with connections running from their offices and data centers straight into Equinix. Congratulations to the Colt Technology Services team on going live on Equinix Fabric Marketplace and thank you for all the work behind it.

A few weeks ago I was at Equinix Horizon, and I am still thinking about everything I captured on camera there. Got to meet Adaire Fox-Martin, President and CEO of Equinix, in person. A moment I will remember from that trip!!!! Three announcements came out of this event that enterprise and AI leaders need to know about. Equinix Fabric One lets you connect anything to anything, anywhere to anywhere, in hours instead of weeks, built on an open spec developed with AWS and Google Cloud. Equinix Inference Exchange, with NVIDIA and Together AI, brings AI inference closer to where data actually lives, across 280 plus data centers worldwide. And Equinix completed its at North acquisition with CPP Investments, a US$4 billion bet on the Nordics becoming one of the most important regions for AI infrastructure. I also sat down with some incredible leaders on the ground!!!! Harmeen Mehta, Chief Digital and Innovation Officer, on AI agents becoming part of our everyday work, not someday, now. Kaladhar Voruganti VP and Senior Technologist, on how enterprises are managing AI costs and governance through gateways, caching, and firewalls. Paul Dehnert, VP of Sales for Interconnection, on how open neutrality is reshaping how AI and inference actually get deployed. And Vince Kellen PhD and Casey Bryan from Texas A&M, on IGNITE, the AI research platform they built with Dell, AMD, and Equinix. Here is my honest take after 750 plus interviews across this industry. Most infrastructure companies talk about connectivity or compute. Equinix is quietly building both, plus the neutral ground where clouds, AI providers, and enterprises actually meet. That combination is rare, and it is exactly what the next phase of enterprise AI needs. Full interviews on The Ravit Show. More from Equinix Horizon still to come. #equinix #equinixhorizon #ai #cloud #digitalinfrastructure #aiinference #enterpriseai #theravitshow

AI is scaling from pilots to production, and the real question is where inference runs. At Equinix Horizon, Bruce Owen sits down with Vipul Ved Prakash (Co-Founder & CEO, Together AI) and Raj Mirpuri (VP of Global AI Clouds and Infrastructure Ecosystems, NVIDIA) to break down distributed AI inference and the launch of Equinix® Inference Exchange. They cover: 🌐 Distributed inference 💰 Cutting inference costs and improving token efficiency 🔒 Security, compliance and sovereignty considerations Discover more from Equinix Horizon: https://eqix.it/3VaeUZT

The flashiest GPU won't set your AI strategy apart. The harness will. Running on CPUs, it orchestrates your agents, adds observability and pulls better results from the same models. That's where business value actually lives. Benjamin Jenkins and Charlie Lane, CISSP explain how to buy AI hardware that keeps its options open: https://eqix.it/4rqKO0h

Public internet routing means unpredictable latency, and inference workloads pay the price. Put compute near your data and route it privately for performance you can actually count on. Ted Kawka, Global Principal, and Nicholas Hollings, Director, Global Principals (APAC & EMEA), explain why: https://eqix.it/4dgbOtq

Digital sovereignty isn't a product you buy. It's control you design for. Across Australia, the UK and Brazil, 3 organizations kept data under local control using geo-bound routing built for their own rules. Matthias Guenther and Ana Maria Ordonez breaks down all three use cases. 🔗 https://eqix.it/4yvebAE

Every new cloud, AI provider or partner used to mean another connection to design and manage. Any-to-any connectivity changes that: define the outcomes you need, and let the network compose itself. See from Karthik Ramaswamy how Equinix Fabric One™ keeps growing ecosystems simple. https://eqix.it/4gZVFtk

Every AI strategy hits the same question: not just which model to run, but where to run it. Placement drives cost, latency and sovereignty just as much as your model choice does. Paul Dehnert, VP of Interconnection & Emerging Solutions, explains why inference belongs close to your data and users, and how Equinix® Inference Exchange makes that possible. 📍 Read it: https://eqix.it/4r5dbRv

Equinix Horizon 2026 kept circling 1 idea: AI can live everywhere, but its value shows up only when it connects well. 2 products, 1 job: 🔗 Equinix Fabric One™ handles the routing automatically 📍 Equinix® Inference Exchange supports seamless deployment of AI models across diverse environments Read the recap: https://eqix.it/4gTKdz7

Last week, I had a blast at 1st Equinix Horizon. Sat down with Paul Dehnert, Vice President of Sales, Interconnection & Emerging Solutions at Equinix on The Ravit Show. He runs the global sales team behind Equinix's interconnection portfolio, the internal wiring inside data centers that quietly makes up the network of networks we call the internet. Sharing the takeaways while they are fresh. The theme running through this entire event is open neutrality, and Paul connected that directly to what is happening in AI and inference right now. Together AI is bringing its inference platform onto Equinix to make open source models easier to run. Some hyperscalers are rolling out new interconnection capabilities on Fabric One that let developers connect directly using natural language instead of manual network configuration. The line that stood out to me most was about enterprise spend. A lot of companies burned through their token budgets earlier this year and are now actively optimizing. Paul's read is that enterprises are getting more mature about this. They are realizing they do not need the frontier model for every use case. The real skill now is picking the right venue and the right model for the job, not defaulting to the biggest one available. That is a quieter shift than the big keynote announcements, but it might matter just as much for how enterprise AI actually gets budgeted and run. More conversations from the summit floor coming soon. #equinix #equinixhorizon #ai #interconnection #enterpriseai #cloud #digitalinfrastructure #openneutrality #theravitshow
