Zayo, Equinix draw up a new AI Infrastructure Blueprint

Zayo and Equinix unveiled the industry’s first AI Infrastructure Blueprint, a joint infrastructure architecture framework that defines how next-generation infrastructure powers AI workloads. 

AI at scale spans training locations, distributed inference, and network and interconnection nodes that link them. The AI Infrastructure Blueprint provides a clear infrastructure architecture framework for how these pieces fit together: Equinix as the neutral interconnection hubs for connecting networks, training and inference infrastructure; and Zayo as the high-capacity fiber and network services, linking hubs, data sources, and workloads.

The Blueprint includes: 

  • Validated blueprints at scale: Scalable reference designs that focus on the network elements that matter at scale, reducing trial and error and shortening time to market for AI training and inference.
  • Guidance that scales: Practical direction across key network layers and elements, informed by Equinix and Zayo’s cloud connectivity and IP peering experience, to help organizations design for long-term AI growth.
  • A shared language for the AI ecosystem: Common terminology that aligns customers, partners, and vendors across the AI networking stack.
