Telefonica expanded its global network of data centers with the opening of an ultra-modern data center in Chile to provide services such as Colocation, Hosting, IaaS, and Managed Services. This new data centre is located in Paine, just 40 km from Santiago, a strategic sector in terms of access and security. With the latest data center, the third in Chile, Telefonica boasts 83 interconnected Data Centres which make up its Telefonica Global Network.
The Data Center, said Telefonica also makes the Operator the first company in the country to offer local Open Cloud solutions. These 100% cloud solutions are based on OpenStack, a processing, storage, and connectivity system in the cloud that allows clients to manage it with a control panel, and also access users through a network interface, added the company.
The 5,000 m2 Data Center building is located on a 30,000 m2 plot, 1,000 m2 of which are dedicated to white rooms available for the housing of client equipment and Telefónica Movistar Cloud services. The Data Center is able to triple its surface area to 3000 square meters, and multiply its kW capacity by three, according to the Operator.
In its statement, Telefonica said that its global strategy for its Data Centres is to have a network of 'state of the art' strategic and satellite data centres connected between themselves for the purpose of providing total coverage to the needs (internal and external) of the company.

Telefónica is the company that processes the largest amount of information per second in Chile, and we are a company that knows about this. This is why we decided to gamble and enter the Cloud business with greater strength. Along this line, adding one of the most modern Data Centres in Latin America to our offer is going to allow us to reinforce our value proposal, making it even more attractive to our clients.
