From idea to confidence.
Test・Validate・Optimize
At Ascenty’s campus in Vinhedo, São Paulo, the Digital Realty Innovation Lab (DRIL) brings together companies, experts, and partners to experiment with technologies before scaling them into production.
In a real-world data center environment, your company can evaluate the performance and integration of solutions for Artificial Intelligence, High-Performance Computing (HPC), and hybrid cloud. With expert support, these assessments help identify adjustments, reduce risks and rework, and prepare the transition from proof of concept to production.

What can your company do at DRIL?
With support from experts and partners, your company can examine the complete architecture, from physical infrastructure to software platforms. The results help evaluate the project’s technical and economic feasibility and inform investments and deployment decisions.
Run proof-of-concept projects
Determine the feasibility of a solution and identify adjustments before expanding its deployment. Gather evidence to support internal approvals and shorten the path from proof of concept to production.
Evaluate Artificial Intelligence solutions
Compare performance and power consumption when training and running inference on AI models. Use the results to optimize resources and assess total cost of ownership (TCO).
Validate high-performance workloads
Experiment with configurations for applications that require intensive processing. Understand how power, cooling, and equipment density affect workload performance.
Explore hybrid cloud and multicloud
Test integration across your own infrastructure, colocation, and services from different cloud providers. Monitor connectivity and application performance across these environments.
Test integration across vendors
See how servers, storage, networks, and software platforms work together. Identifying incompatibilities in the lab helps reduce integration risks and rework after deployment.
Discover and demonstrate solutions
Experience partner technologies in operation and demonstrate applications in the lab. Share experiences and explore potential use cases with companies and experts.
A partner ecosystem
for validating integrated solutions.
At DRIL, your company can access partner platforms in operation and measure their performance under real-world operating conditions.
Collaboration among vendors and experts makes it possible to see how these technologies work together, identify adjustments, and validate the architecture before scaling it into production.
