(NVDA) to accelerate enterprise AI. Working with its partners, the company will enable customers to have AI security features from Cisco and NVIDIA across its data centers, providing customers with AI factory blueprints and automation that simplify.

The company is also partnering with Presidio Inc. to deploy their Programmable AI Technology Hub Lab or P.A.T.H, giving customers a real-world environment inside Equinix data centers to test and validate before enterprise-wide rollout.

By bringing Cisco's secure AI factory with NVIDIA, Equinix makes it easier for customers to access interconnection density with advanced cooling systems for customers to deploy their latest AI hardware and software at scale. These deployments were based on NVIDIA reference architectures that are built to reflect how enterprises buy and deploy technology through trusted partners and on infrastructure platforms.

The P.A.T.H. lab, developed by Presidio, is built on Cisco's Secure AI Factory with NVIDIA. It is a fully integrated production-grade AI environment built for the purpose of testing and validating AI strategies before full-scale deployment.
