CASE STUDY
Five new data centres
Tecto plans to launch five new facilities during 2026. Key developments include TPOA1 in Porto Alegre and TGRU1 in Santana de Parnaíba. The projects are designed to support cloud computing, artificial intelligence and enterprise digital services while expanding capacity across strategic markets.
Together, these environments create a balanced architecture that delivers performance, efficiency and scalability.
How important is artificial intelligence to Tecto’ s growth strategy?
AI is central to everything we are building. The computing requirements of AI applications are fundamentally different from traditional workloads. They demand higher densities, greater power availability and advanced cooling capabilities.
Our new facilities are being designed specifically to support these requirements. We expect AI to be one of the strongest drivers of data centre growth throughout Latin America during the coming decade.
Can you explain the AI Grid and AI Factory strategy?
We see a significant opportunity to expand capacity while building the next generation of AI-ready infrastructure. Our investment programme allows us to meet current demand while preparing for future growth across Latin America.
Why is Tecto expanding beyond hyperscalers and cloud providers into the enterprise market?
Enterprise organisations are increasingly viewing technology infrastructure as a strategic asset rather than simply a support function. Large businesses are deploying AI applications, modernising operations and processing more data than ever before.
These organisations require secure, scalable and low-latency infrastructure that can support mission-critical workloads. We believe there is a growing opportunity to help enterprises access the same level of infrastructure traditionally associated with hyperscale customers.
The AI Grid and AI Factory model combines distributed infrastructure with large-scale processing capabilities.
Connectivity advantage
Through its relationship with V. tal, Tecto can leverage more than 450,000 kilometres of fibre-optic infrastructure in Brazil and a submarine cable network exceeding 26,000 kilometres that links Brazil with Argentina, Bermuda, Chile, Colombia, the United States and Venezuela.
The combination of connectivity and computing resources is designed to support increasingly demanding AI and cloud workloads. www. intelligentcio. com
