Equinix, a veteran data center company, has partnered with Nvidia to offer customers flexible AI model hosting on the open-source Together AI platform. This move positions Equinix to capitalize on the growing AI infrastructure market, where hyperscalers are expected to spend trillions by 2030. Equinix's shares have surged 33% in 2026, raising its market cap to $100 billion, making it the largest data center REIT. The new service, Equinix Inference Exchange, will launch in early 2027 and focuses on AI inference workloads, crucial for real-time AI applications. Despite some skepticism from investors about legacy data center profitability, Equinix's diverse client base and urban data center locations give it a strategic edge in the evolving AI ecosystem.
