The Company Reinforces its Position as a Leading Data Center Provider in the Country with the Announcement of Two New Facilities: DC BG02 and DC BG03, Which Will Offer a Combined Capacity of 144 MW

SÃO PAULO, BRAZIL – October 23, 2024 – ODATA, an Aligned Data Centers company and provider of data center services for Latin America, announces two new data centers in Cundinamarca, Bogotá, Colombia: DC BG02, located in the Zona Franca de Occidente in Mosquera, and DC BG03, located in the Zona Franca Metropolitana in Tenjo. The initial phases of construction for the Company’s new facilities are expected to be completed by the end of 2026 and represent a total investment of $1.3 billion in the region. DC BG02 will provide 24MW of IT capacity, while DC BG03 will offer a substantial 120MW. Together, these facilities will deliver a combined capacity of 144MW.

DC BG03 will be Colombia’s largest data center, solidifying the country’s position as a premier technology hub. This state-of-the-art facility will meet the surging demand for high-capacity data centers, catering to the growing needs of leading cloud and artificial intelligence providers.  The data center will be a catalyst for digital development in Colombia, reinforcing ODATA’s position as the preferred partner for leading companies seeking to expand their operations in the country.

DC BG03 will not only offer the largest IT capacity in Colombia, but will also be the first data center in the country to have a direct connection to the local power transmission system. This strategic advantage will enable ODATA’s customers to achieve enhanced scalability and energy stability, supporting the growth and development of their digital infrastructure.

ODATA established its presence in Colombia in 2018 with the launch of its data center, DC BG01. It has since become the leading data center provider in the country, and its data center a major connectivity hub serving some of the top companies in Colombia and the world.

According to Ricardo Alário, CEO of ODATA, the Company’s latest expansions represent another critical milestone in the organization’s growth as well the digital development of Latin America. “The addition of these new data centers in Colombia further solidifies ODATA’s position as a leading data center provider in the country as well as the broader Latin American region. By expanding our footprint in Colombia, we are creating new opportunities for businesses and reinforcing our commitment to the country’s digital development. Our state-of-the-art, sustainable data centers provide the ideal infrastructure for large-scale cloud and artificial intelligence workloads, positioning Colombia as an attractive destination for technology companies,” he states. The new data centers will adhere to the same rigorous standards of sustainability and innovation that have defined ODATA’s reputation across all its data centers. Thus, DC BG02 and DC BG03 will incorporate Delta Cube (Delta³) air cooling technology, developed and patented by ODATA’s parent company, Aligned Data Centers. Unlike conventional data center cooling methods that simply push cold air into the data hall, this technology captures and removes heat directly at its source, creating a hyper-scalable and highly efficient environment.

Delta³ is designed to cool variable power densities of up to 50kW per rack in the same row, allowing ODATA’s data centers to maximize space usage and energy efficiency. The technology seamlessly integrates with liquid cooling systems, enabling ODATA to efficiently meet the demanding requirements of artificial intelligence and other high-density applications in Colombia.
