# Press Release — Sovereign AI with Equinix Fabric Geo Zones 2026

## 3verest Builds Sovereign AI for Healthcare with Equinix Fabric Geo Zones

**Sydney, Australia | 25 August 2026**

A global healthcare cloud provider ensures AI workloads remain within borders while enabling secure medical imaging innovation.

Equinix has announced that sovereign healthcare cloud provider **3verest** is deploying **Equinix Fabric® Geo Zones** to deliver sovereign AI infrastructure for healthcare organisations across **Australia, the United Kingdom, Germany, the United States, Canada and the European Union**.

3verest serves hospitals, medical imaging providers, healthcare technology vendors and government health organisations. The company is extending its platform so that patient data stays in country — and so do AI inference, prompts and network traffic.

> "Healthcare needs infrastructure built around sovereignty from the ground up," said **Scott Crawford**, Founder and CEO of 3verest. "AI changes the question to where intelligence runs. Patient imaging, clinical prompts, and AI inference must remain inside the jurisdiction."

## Sovereignty Across the Whole AI Lifecycle

The partnership addresses a critical challenge for regulated industries: maintaining sovereignty throughout the entire AI lifecycle, not just data storage.

**Equinix Fabric Geo Zones enforces sovereignty at the network layer**, ensuring traffic remains within approved geographic boundaries during failover or rerouting events. Combined with the Equinix global network of **International Business Exchange (IBX)** data centres, the solution enables 3verest to deliver compliant, resilient AI environments.

> "Sovereignty cannot be a setting inside a single cloud," said **Arun Dev**, Vice President of Digital Interconnection at Equinix. "It must be enforced at the network layer across every provider and connection."

## The Platforms Running on the Foundation

3verest offers three key platforms:

- **Bifrost** — a sovereign AI environment with GPU infrastructure and managed services.
- **Forge** — a healthcare developer platform using Firecracker micro-VM technology.
- **Heimdall** — a control layer routing prompts while maintaining secure boundaries.

Equinix operates more than **280 IBX data centres across 77 metropolitan areas in 36 countries**.
