Redwood City based colocation and data center firm Equinix has unveiled an expanded collaboration with San Francisco digital Infrastructure firm Cisco and Santa Clara based AI computing specialist NVIDIA to accelerate enterprise AI.

Equinix said by bringing the Cisco Secure AI Factory with NVIDIA into its global data centers, the firm was making it easier for customers to access the interconnection density, specialized power and advanced cooling customers and partners need to deploy the latest AI hardware and software at scale.

Working with its partners, the company will enable customers to deploy the Cisco Secure AI Factory with NVIDIA enabling it to provide customers with standardized AI factory blueprints and automation that simplify deployments.

“The success of enterprise AI starts with its physical foundation,” said Gordon Mackintosh, Senior Vice President, 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. This is how AI shifts from pilot to production with the speed, simplicity and certainty businesses need.”

Equinix is also partnering with New York-based digital services specialist Presidio to rollout their Programmable AI Technology Hub (P.A.T.H.) Lab.

Built on Cisco’s Secure AI Factory with NVIDIA, the lab is a fully integrated, production-grade AI environment purpose-built for enterprises to test, validate, and refine AI strategies before committing to full-scale deployment.

“Through the combined expertise of Presidio, Cisco, NVIDIA and Equinix, enterprises gain access to turnkey AI infrastructure proven to work across hybrid workloads, spanning public cloud, neocloud, on-premises, and colocation environments,” said Equinix.
