REDWOOD CITY, Calif.– Dec. 18, 2025 – Equinix, Inc. (Nasdaq: EQIX), the world's digital infrastructure company^®, today announced that it has been positioned in the Leaders category in the first IDC MarketScape: Latin America Datacenter Services 2025–2026 Vendor Assessment (doc #LA52033724e, December 2025).

“Equinix’s comprehensive capabilities and strategy – including AI-ready infrastructure, low-latency connectivity to clouds and ecosystems, and sustainability benefits – enable organizations to address what’s needed today while future-proofing for what’s next,” said Pietro Delai, Research Director, Latin America Enterprise Infrastructure and Cloud Services, IDC.

Serving as critical connectivity hubs for enterprises, cloud providers and AI ecosystems, Equinix’s global footprint encompasses more than 270 data centers in 36 countries, including its 19 data centers in 5 countries across Latin America. The report states that “Facilities are strategically located in urban and hyperscale network corridors — São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Mexico City, Monterrey, Santiago, Bogotá, and Lima — for proximity to regional business and cloud ecosystems and provide access to hundreds of domestic and international carriers, as well as all major public cloud platforms through Equinix Fabric and Cross Connects.”

“Latin America is undergoing rapid technological development, with potential to become a global hub for connectivity and artificial intelligence, due to its availability of renewable energy and regulatory environment,” said Eduardo Carvalho, Managing Director, LATAM, Equinix. “This, combined with our global presence and the investments we have made in the region, puts us in a strategic position to support this new demand and accelerate the realization of this Latin American potential.”

The IDC MarketScape report highlighted the following about Equinix:

• Consistent experience in the region and globally: According to the report, “Equinix has a strong global presence and offers a platform with consistent technical and operational standards across all countries where it operates, leveraging global best practices and local engineering expertise.”
• Breadth of interconnection capabilities and ecosystem: According to the report, Equinix’s “emphasis on interconnection allows direct, private, and low-latency access to many local operators and major cloud providers.” It adds: “The company also recently announced Distributed AI solutions — including Equinix Fabric Intelligence and AI Solutions Labs — to address customer requirements for performance, scale, ecosystem connectivity, and data sovereignty.”
• Commitment to sustainability and operational efficiencies: According to the report, “Direct-to-chip liquid and indirect evaporative systems, which support high-density deployments, are available with recent data indicating an average PUE as low as 1.39. Notably, all Equinix datacenters in Latin America have 100% renewable energy coverage, supported by transparent deployment-level energy, emission, and water programs.”
