Ascenty celebrates 15 Years with announcement of new data center in São Paul
Ascenty has announced the construction of a new data center in the São Paulo region as it marks 15 years of operating in the Latin American market.
With an investment of approximately R $ 300 million, SPO05 will be the company’ s fifth data center in the São Paulo Metropolitan Area, part of a campus totaling 47 MW and approximately 40,000 m ² of total area. The new facility is designed to serve enterprise and hyperscale clients with cloud and AI solutions, which require robust infrastructure for high-volume data processing and transmission.
As part of this expansion, Ascenty is also announcing the development of units SPO07 and SPO08, which are now officially underway. These two new data centers will offer 40 MW of capacity and represent an investment of approximately R $ 1.5 billion.
They will be built on a 47,430.16 m ² plot acquired in 2023 in São Paulo. This initiative is part of the company’ s broader expansion plan, bringing its total to 36 data centers – 24 in operation and 12 under construction or development.
“ We’ ve seen strong demand from clients for space in our data centers to meet the growing need for connectivity and infrastructure, driven by the technological evolution of digital services and the need for robust, high-availability, low-latency connectivity,” said Chris Torto, Founder and CEO of Ascenty.
The company will also soon launch operations at its third facility in Chile, SCL03.
