Data Centers

Mission-critical infrastructure across Brazil

From site analysis and campus layout to the IT building, the technical rooms, the substations and permitting — architecture for infrastructure that cannot stop.

More than 1.25 GW of IT capacity designed across 30 sites in 5 states and the Federal District, for hyperscale, colocation and edge. One of the largest data center portfolios in the country, developed for global operators and for Brazil’s leading players.

11 of these sites have published technical data and appear in the portfolio below. The other 19 remain under contractual confidentiality and are not shown.
