Private ownership with managed infrastructure
Equinix announced immediate availability on January 24, 2024. The service included DGX systems, networking and NVIDIA AI Enterprise software, with Equinix installing and operating customer-owned infrastructure. Next-day coverage corroborated availability and the ownership model. [1][2]
The service combined Equinix's facilities and operations with NVIDIA's computing and software platform. Customer ownership of the systems distinguished it from simply renting a slice of a provider-owned public GPU fleet. [1]
