Latin America. As part of its AI Summit event, Equinix presented the details of its Distributed AI Infrastructure, a strategic move focused on driving the next wave of innovation in AI, including AI with agents.
The announcement includes a new backbone ready to support distributed AI deployments, a global solutions lab to test new solutions, and Fabric Intelligence to better support next-generation workloads for enterprises.
As companies continue to look at how to implement next-generation AI tools, such as AI agents, there is a need to rethink their current IT architecture. Equinix Distributed AI was designed from the ground up to support the scale, speed, and complexity of modern intelligent systems, including the evolution of static models to autonomous, agent AI, capable of reasoning, acting, and learning independently.
Unlike traditional applications, AI is inherently distributed, with specific infrastructure requirements for training, inference, and data sovereignty. Meeting these needs requires a new kind of infrastructure: globally distributed, deeply interconnected, and designed for performance at scale.
With a fully programmable, AI-optimized network connecting more than 270 data centers in 77 markets, Equinix is uniquely positioned to unify these environments across geographies, enabling intelligent systems to operate reliably, securely, and where needed.
Equinix AI Summit Featured Announcements
Fabric Intelligence:
• A software layer that enhances Equinix Fabric®, an on-demand global interconnection service with real-time insight and automation for AI and multicloud workloads.
• Available in the first quarter of 2026, Fabric Intelligence integrates with AI orchestration tools to automate connectivity decisions, leverages live telemetry for deep visibility, and dynamically adjusts routing, segmentation to optimize performance and simplify network operations. By making the network responsive to workload demands, Fabric Intelligence helps enterprises reduce manual effort, accelerate deployment, and keep up with the scale and speed of AI.
AI Solutions Lab at the Equinix Solutions Validation Center facility:
• Equinix is launching a global AI Solutions Lab at 20 locations in 10 countries, an infrastructure that provides enterprises with a dynamic environment to collaborate with leading AI partners.
• Available today, enterprises can use the AI Solutions Lab to connect to Equinix's broad ecosystem of AI partners. This collaboration can help minimize the risks of AI adoption, co-innovate solutions, and move faster from idea to operational AI deployment.
Expansion of the Equinix AI ecosystem:
• Today, Equinix has one of the industry's most comprehensive and independent AI ecosystems, with more than 2,000 partners worldwide, making it easy to discover and take action on next-generation AI inference services thanks to the new Fabric Intelligence.
• Gives enterprises access to cutting-edge technology, including the GroqCloud™ platform available in the first quarter of 2026, to enable direct and private access to cutting-edge inference platforms without the need for custom builds, so they can connect and scale AI services faster with enterprise-grade performance and security.
With Equinix's distributed AI infrastructure, enterprises will be able to support use cases such as real-time decision-making for predictive maintenance in manufacturing, dynamic retail optimization, and faster detection of fraud in financial services.
By enabling AI at the edge and across regions, Equinix helps organizations run scalable, regulatory-compliant, and low-latency AI workloads wherever they are needed. These products are expected to be available in the first quarter of 2026.
