Digital infrastructure company Equinix announced a fully managed private cloud service to streamline the process for enterprises to acquire and manage their own NVIDIA DGX AI supercomputing infrastructure. This capability is considered useful for building and running custom, generative AI models.
The now-available service includes NVIDIA’s DGX systems, networking and the AI Enterprise software platform. Equinix installs and operates each customer’s privately
owned NVIDIA infrastructure and can deploy services on their behalf in key International Business Exchange (IBX) data centers on a global scale.
“To harness the incredible potential of generative AI, enterprises need adaptable, scalable hybrid infrastructure in their local markets, bringing AI supercomputing to their data,” said Equinix President and CEO, Charles Meyers. “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, the 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.
The service offers high-speed private network access to global network service providers, enabling quick generative AI information retrieval across corporate wide area networks. In addition, it provides private, high-bandwidth interconnections to cloud services and enterprise service providers to facilitate AI workloads while meeting data security and compliance requirements. Using the service, customers can easily access their NVIDIA AI Enterprise software to streamline the development and deployment of production-grade AI applications, including generative AI.
The solution also features enterprise-grade support and security, including Equinix IBX data center professionals for helping customers more quickly build and deploy custom AI
models and access to NVIDIA AI experts.
