Data center operator Equinix is working with Nvidia and Together AI on an Inferencing solution.

Described as a distributed AI inference platform, the Inference Exchange uses Nvidia's Enterprise Reference Architecture and infrastructure and Together AI's inference platform, and is delivered through Equinix's global data centers.

Equinix has a footprint of more than 280 data centers across 77 metros, 230 cloud on-ramps, and more than 10,500 businesses interconnected on its exchange.

Via Equinix Fabric, the Inference Exchange will connect to clouds, networks, and AI providers.

"AI is transforming enterprise technology at extraordinary speed, and the infrastructure decisions enterprises make today will define their competitive position for years to come. Equinix is uniquely positioned to deliver what this moment demands based on our nearly three decades building the trusted exchange where the world's enterprises run, connect, and orchestrate their most critical workloads," said Adaire Fox-Martin, CEO and president, Equinix.

"Our longtime relationship with Nvidia delivers the accelerated computing foundation at the heart of modern AI, while Together AI's commitment to open ecosystems gives enterprises the flexibility to scale on their terms. Equinix Inference Exchange will enable architectures that are neutral by design, open by default, and engineered for exceptional performance."

"Together AI was built on the conviction that open, accessible AI is what will define the industry moving forward, because enterprises shouldn't have to choose between model performance and operational flexibility," added Vipul Ved Prakash, co-founder and CEO of Together AI. "What we are building with Equinix and Nvidia proves that model choice and performance are not trade-offs. They are the foundation of enterprise AI done right."

Among the use cases the offering is targeting are metro Edge inference for organizations that require low latency for AI workloads, open model migration for enterprises looking to move from closed proprietary models to open-source alternatives using Together AI's platform, and sovereign AI workloads that need to run in specific locations.

The Inference Exchange will be available from Q1 2027.

AI cloud company Together AI raised $800m in a Series C funding round in July 2026. The company is a known customer of Rum Group and is planning to deploy hardware at an L&T data center, while Hypertec and 5C are aiming to roll out 2GW of capacity for the company.
