Equinix is the world’s largest independent operator of colocation and interconnection data centers, running what it calls International Business Exchange (IBX) facilities where customers install their own servers and network equipment alongside thousands of other networks, clouds, and enterprises. As of late 2025, the company reports more than 270 data centers across 36 countries, making it far larger by facility count than any other colocation competitor. Its core differentiator is dense interconnection: Equinix positions its buildings as neutral meeting points where carriers, cloud providers (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud), and enterprises can directly cross-connect, rather than simply renting rack space. Beyond traditional retail colocation, Equinix runs a separate xScale division of large wholesale campuses built specifically for hyperscale cloud tenants, and it also sells Equinix Metal, an automated bare-metal-as-a-service offering that gives customers cloud-like, on-demand access to dedicated physical servers inside its facilities. Since 2022, Equinix has been piloting and rolling out liquid cooling technology to support AI and GPU workloads, most visibly through a dedicated Co-Innovation Facility inside its Ashburn, Virginia campus, and has announced plans to extend liquid cooling to more than 100 of its global data centers.

Equinix AI Data Centers

Equinix's clearest AI-specific infrastructure is its Co-Innovation Facility (CIF), housed inside the DC15 IBX data center on its Ashburn, Virginia campus, where it has run a succession of liquid-cooling pilots for GPU-class hardware since 2022 — including NVIDIA's liquid-cooled A100 GPUs, ZutaCore's two-phase direct-on-chip cooling, Accelsius's NeuCool IR80 system deployed in Q3 2025, and a Flex/JetCool rack-level demonstration in November 2025. Separately, Equinix opened a purpose-built AI-ready data center in Chennai, India in September 2025, launching with 800 cabinets and liquid cooling with plans to scale to 4,250 cabinets over four to six years. More broadly, the company has committed to extending liquid-cooling support to over 100 of its global data centers as AI-driven power density climbs toward 100 kW per rack.

Common Questions

Does Equinix have infrastructure specifically built for AI and GPU workloads?

Yes. Equinix operates a Co-Innovation Facility (CIF) inside the DC15 IBX data center at its Ashburn, Virginia campus, where it has tested and deployed multiple direct-to-chip and two-phase liquid cooling systems (from vendors including ZutaCore, Accelsius, and Flex/JetCool) specifically to support high-density GPU and AI/HPC hardware. Separately, in 2025 Equinix opened a new AI-ready facility in Chennai, India, built from the outset with liquid cooling and starting with 800 cabinets planned to scale to 4,250.

How many data centers does Equinix operate and where?

As of late 2025, Equinix reports operating more than 270 data centers across 36 countries worldwide, spanning the Americas, EMEA, and Asia-Pacific, making it the largest colocation and interconnection provider by facility count globally.

Is Equinix a cloud provider or a colocation company?

Primarily colocation and interconnection, but it also sells a cloud-like product: Equinix Metal, a bare-metal-as-a-service offering launched in 2020 (built on its acquisition of Packet) that lets customers provision dedicated physical servers on demand, integrated with its Equinix Fabric interconnection service.

What is Equinix's xScale division?

xScale is Equinix's hyperscale colocation product line, consisting of large, purpose-built campuses designed for hyperscale cloud and network operators; as of Q1 2025 the company reported 12 xScale projects among 56 major expansion projects underway across 33 metros in 24 countries.
