With an expected investment of BRL 920 million and 31 MW capacity, the data center expands by 134% the total power of the complex, where construction started in 2015

– Ascenty, the leading provider of data center services in Latin America, has announced the opening of the fifth data center at its Hortolândia complex, in the interior of the São Paulo State. The company also has a sixth data center under construction at the site, scheduled to begin operations in 2023.

Investment for the installation has totaled BRL 350 million so far, and is expected to reach BRL 920 million by the end of the final phase. Hortolândia 5 has already opened with 20% of the data processing centers occupied by clients, with plans to reach 60% by the end of 2023.

Ascenty now has 28 data centers in Brazil, Chile and Mexico – 23 currently operating and six under construction. With the new addition, the Hortolândia campus will see its power expanded by 134%, going from 23MW to 54MW of energy capacity.

“Next year, we will finish construction for the sixth site of the complex, which broke ground in 2015. Hortolândia is a growing industrial and technological hub. Investing in the town is part of our growth strategy, and will allow us to meet strong demand for digital services from local businesses,” said VP of Operations Marcos Siqueira.

The Hortolândia campus is connected to Ascenty’s 5,000-km proprietary fiber optic network and interconnected to the submarine cable station in Praia Grande, SP. Ascenty is carrier neutral and provides its customers with direct access to numerous telecom operators in its data centers.
