EQUINIX + Iterate.ai

Govern Every AI Call at the Network Edge

Iterate.ai partners with Equinix to put governance and budget control where every AI call already crosses the network. AgentWatch, the first AI gateway deployed on the network edge, runs on Equinix Network Edge as a Virtual Network Function. Every agent and application gets one governed endpoint, with private connections to every model provider over Equinix Fabric.

Why This
Partnership Matters

Solving the Two Biggest Barriers to Enterprise AI

Enterprises are calling AI through APIs faster than they can govern or pay for it. Security cannot see what leaves in each call, and finance cannot see who drove the bill. The Iterate.ai + Equinix partnership solves both.

Advantages for Enterprise Clients

  • One Governed Endpoint: Every agent and app call passes through one OpenAI-compatible endpoint on Equinix Network Edge.
  • Keep Your Data Protected: DLP and guardrails block or redact sensitive data before it leaves your boundary.
  • Own Your AI Economics: Token-level cost by user, team and model, hard-stop budgets, and a 70–90% token reduction target.
  • No Rip-and-Replace: Adoption is a base-URL change. Existing SDKs and providers stay in place.

AgentWatch on Equinix Network Edge

AgentWatch is the first AI gateway deployed on the network edge, running on Equinix Network Edge as a Virtual Network Function. It turns the interconnection point every AI call already crosses into a control point for policy and spend.
  • DLP, guardrails and audit on every call, before egress
  • Token metering, budgets and chargeback by team
  • Cost-aware routing across private models and 14 public providers over Fabric
  • Audit trails aligned to GDPR, HIPAA, SOC 2, PCI-DSS and SOX
