Equinix launches managed private AI with NVIDIA DGX

Equinix made a managed private-AI service available for customers to own NVIDIA DGX systems hosted and operated in Equinix facilities, with networking, software and specialist support.

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]
