SCALA DATA CENTERS
Similarly , the bespoke partnership that Scala has established with Brazilian company Modular Data Centers has been key to achieving a faster pace of customercentric service that has defined its success .
“ Modular had all-in-one prefab outdoor modules . They sell to the market , in general , smaller deployments , at 8 , 16 or 30 racks . But , based on the idea of enhancing the amount of components that we could prefab before sending to the site – so that we could achieve higher standardisation and need less time to deploy – Modular took on the challenge to build something bespoke for Scala and together we came up with the FastDeploy design where dedicated blocks of 600kW of capacity can be delivered on record time in strategically located sites that can grow up to 7.2MW of IT capacity .”
Walking the talk on sustainability since day one Since much of what Scala does in this region is the first of its kind , a key part of its sustainability strategy is working with local people and communities .
“ We have to work with municipalities and local governments to educate them about what a data centre is and the benefits that a data centre deployment can bring . In this way , we ’ re working also to enable tier two markets in Latin America , bringing progress to these countries and locations , and enabling the future in Latin America ,” Peigo asserts .
“ We really believe that digital infrastructure is the way to pave the future for these countries and to enable growth in a sustainable manner . This isn ’ t something that happens in one meeting or with one press release ; this is a process , and it takes time to consolidate .” sustainabilitymag . com 75
