Scala Data Centers has announced the operations launch of its first site in the Brazilian Southern Region, based in Porto Alegre city. With 4.8MW of IT, SPOAPA01 data center is part of the HyperEdge family and is configured to meet the demand for connection and distributed computing. As the result of an investment of R$240 million, the data center is dedicated to Hyperscale customers.
The HyperEdge SPOAPA01 data center is the first site of the Scala Data Centers in Porto Alegre, establishing a low latency communication with the South of Brazil and the Argentine market.
The data center is based in Navegantes neighborhood, close to Salgado Filho International Airport, in a region called 4th District - which is an important innovation and technology hub in the city of Rio Grande do Sul.
The site is located close to legacy data centers, in a highly connected region and near to the Malbec System, a submarine cable that, in the future, will have a branch connecting Porto Alegre to the city of Buenos Aires.
Marcos Peigo, CEO and Co-Founder, Scala
We are excited about the inauguration of this new data center, which occupies a strategic position close to data centers that serve telecom operators. Despite the obsolete architecture, density and capacity compared to Hyperscale customer standards, these other sites in the region represent relevant points of connection and traffic interest. With this site now in operation, our customers finally have the alternative of a global standard data center to serve the region's growing market, including support for the Buenos Aires region, in Argentina,
