Equinix has announced a fully managed private cloud service that enables enterprises to easily acquire and manage their own NVIDIA DGX AI supercomputing infrastructure for building and running custom generative AI models.
The service includes NVIDIA DGX systems, NVIDIA networking and the NVIDIA AI Enterprise software platform. Equinix installs and operates each user’s privately owned NVIDIA infrastructure and can deploy services on their behalf in key International Business Exchange™ (IBX®) data centers globally.
“To harness the incredible potential of generative AI, enterprises need adaptable, scalable hybrid infrastructure in their local markets to bring AI supercomputing to their data,” said Charles Meyers, president and CEO of Equinix. “Our new service provides customers a fast and cost-effective way to adopt advanced AI infrastructure that’s operated and managed by experts globally.”
“Generative AI is transforming every industry,” said Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA. “Now, enterprises can own NVIDIA AI supercomputing and software, paired with the operational efficiency of Equinix management, in hundreds of data centers worldwide.”
Through the service, enterprises can scale their infrastructure operations to achieve the level of AI performance needed to develop and run massive models.
Early access companies using the service include leaders in biopharma, financial services, software, automotive and retail, which are building AI Centers of Excellence to provide a strategic foundation for a broad range of rapidly developing LLM use cases.
These include accelerating time to market for new medications, developing AI copilots for customer service agents and building virtual productivity assistants.
