The company announces expansion in the country with the enhancement of infrastructure dedicated to large-scale digital operations

The new Ascenty data center, a joint venture between Digital Realty and Brookfield Infrastructure, is located in Santiago, Chile, and received a total investment of R$ 615.6 million to provide a total capacity of 16 MW. Named SCL03, the data center occupies 8,000 m² within a 22,000 m² plot in the commune of Quilicura. This is the third data center in the country, joining SCL01 and SCL02. Altogether, the three data centers now offer a total capacity of 42 MW, spread over an area of 51,000 m².

In the same metropolitan region, Ascenty also announces the start of projects for SCL04 and SCL05, representing a combined investment of R$ 5.52 billion. Both facilities will together reach a capacity of 150 MW, occupy an area of 60,200 m², and feature 17 data halls.

“Talking about expansion means talking about new capabilities, and Latin America has been standing out globally as a new technology hub for data center development and operations. The Chilean market, like the Brazilian one, is Ascenty’s main focus at this moment, as our clients increasingly demand service capacity in the Latin American region,” says Marcos Siqueira, VP of Strategy and CRO at Ascenty.

With the inauguration of the new data center in Santiago, Ascenty expands its operations in Chile, reinforcing its commitment to neutral and high-performance connectivity. The partnership with PIT Chile (Internet Exchange Point) and the integration with Google Cloud Interconnect allow direct and secure connections to the cloud, with low latency and without relying on the public internet. This initiative strengthens the connectivity ecosystem offered to clients, enabling direct access to cloud and telecommunications providers.

Efficiency with environmental responsibility

In recent years, the pursuit of clean and renewable energy sources has gained prominence in the sector, becoming both a differentiator and a market requirement. This shift, happening globally, also brings a growing need for more sustainable actions in the technology sector.

Ascenty anticipated this movement and, since its founding 15 years ago, has been committed to ESG goals. The company maintains zero carbon emissions, boasts an average Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) well below the market average, and has a Water Usage Effectiveness (WUE) index equal to zero.

“We operate with 100% renewable energy in all our data centers. In addition, we are carbon neutral and have water consumption comparable to that of a typical office, thanks to our closed-loop cooling systems. We have a social and environmental commitment to building increasingly efficient infrastructure, prepared to operate in accordance with the market’s best ESG practices, creating an attractive environment for new players seeking sustainable growth and high performance locally,” says Siqueira.

Celebrating 15 Years of Achievement

The company has also recently invested in the Brazilian market, announcing the construction of its fifth data center in the Osasco region of São Paulo. The investment was approximately R$300 million and represents another strategic step in Ascenty’s expansion plan, which now totals 38 units—25 in operation and 13 under construction.

With a history marked by growth and innovation, Ascenty continues to expand its presence and infrastructure to deliver even more connectivity, resilience, and performance to its more than 600 clients throughout Latin America. The company boasts 4,000 km of proprietary fiber optics, directly connected to the main submarine cables in Latin America. As a carrier-neutral provider, it is accessible to any operator needing to connect to its data centers. Additionally, since 2024, Ascenty offers its clients the ServiceFabric® orchestration platform from Digital Realty, which interconnects Ascenty’s data centers with over 500 facilities from the American company and third parties worldwide.“In our 15-year journey, we have continuously expanded, building a solid foundation focused on Latin America. We offer our clients high-performance connectivity and uninterrupted operations that strengthen our security and market presence, along with investments increasingly aligned with a global expansion vision,” says Siqueira
