Equinix Launches Global Innovation Centers for Liquid-Cooled AI Infrastructure
Equinix, Inc. (EQIX) has introduced the Equinix Enhanced Performance Innovation Centers (EPIC), a global network of production-ready environments designed to support high-density AI deployments. As AI workloads transition from experimentation to full-scale production, the demand for liquid cooling and advanced power management is increasing due to higher rack densities required by modern GPU platforms. The EPIC centers allow enterprises to test and validate liquid-cooled CPU and GPU hardware alongside technology partners within live data center environments. Currently operational in Frankfurt, London, Osaka, Paris, and Sydney, these centers aim to reduce deployment risks and accelerate the transition from proof of concept to large-scale production. Equinix plans to expand this network further in 2027.
